Taking a knee in my view is just another way of exercising freedom of speech and the freedom to protest. Which is what Kapernick was doing when he first took a knee when the Anthem was played. It was not to disrespect the flag but in protest to the huge amount of racial profiling that goes on in the police force all over the USA. Which unfairly targets blacks for minimal reasons and often kills people and children who were guilty of no crime or at least no crime that can let someone execute them without their day in court. If both teams took a knee today I would applaud them for their bravery! Since the right singeled them out as anti americans! Which is total BULL!
((hugs)) EXACTAMUNDO Cinders! Precisely. Absolutely. It's such a load of crap what the gaslighter-in-chief sold his toady sycophants. Patriotism my a**! The least patriotic prez (aka the gaslighter-in-chief) makes a big fuss over the wrong thing and his toady sycophants fall for it and obediently fall in line. It is DISGUSTING to the max! Fake. Phony. Meanwhile he sells us out to a hostile foreign country, undermines our way of life completely, and lies lies lies lies lies lies! What could be more absurd than that? People buying it. SHEESH! Thank you for your thoughtful reply. The people don't have a clue what taking a knee was about. Not a clue. Doesn't matter. Just like puppet boy whose strings Putin pulls...their strings are pulled and they mindlessly react. SIGH. Happy Monday m'dear! :)
