Good no more right-wing nuts scanning sidelines looking to create story and inject politics into football game
lol come on man, STFUKneeling is considered the highest form of respect and devotation somebody can have. if you kneel before someone you make your stand lower than him , showing him that you respect and trust him. You kneel before a king or during the anthem if you are really devoted to it. i don't see a problem with kneeling when our anthem is playing. Why would i? They make a silent protest without hurting anybody. in my opinion they are doing the right thing (considering only the way they are protesting).
Why would you kneel infront of the queen if she is giving you the nighthood, if it would be showing disrespect for her?lol come on man, ****
Because that's the accepted behavior, you kneel to be knighted. That's what the crown requires. The anthem tradition is to stand, that is the accepted respectful behavior. Kneeling is making a statement that you do not respect the flag, anthem, and country for whatever political stunt/statement you're trying to make. It's even codified:Why would you kneel infront of the queen if she is giving you the nighthood, if it would be showing disrespect for her?
Or to kneel in church. Is that disrespectful too?
I think you are overreacting. Kneeling is alright.
I would do it everytime i go to church. But i am not a patriot (i like my country, is that patriotism?) and we don't play the Anthem before our regular sport events so i think we have a diffrent look on things.
the UK police force is not murdering people of color at alarming rates so I doubt he'd have any reason to kneelKaepernick would be standing to get his Knighthood and it wouldn't go over well there either

duh
American "patriotism" has gone from pride in our country to a gross dick measuring contest.
it's code
when someone says education is indoctrination they essentially mean that those fancy learnin school are teaching things THEY don't believe in...like Evolution
No, they don't have the right to not allow it. They do have the right to voice their disagreements against the player's actions. Furthermore, your post is so nonsensical and contradictory it boggles the mind. First, you say they can tell players what to do and then you say the idea of freedom of speech is to prevent the idea that we all need to think and act the same. So what is it? Or are you going to continue arguing out of both sides of your mouth?
Its not right-wing nuts behind camera's or in booth talking endlessly about it trying to create a story and taking focus off NFL game they are supposed to cover

The players are gonna protest anyway. I noticed that Colin K and E. Reid are still unemployed. They are the two players most credited with the kneeling protests. They are suing the league for collusion. That's hard to prove but other players are gonna boycott OTAs if they remain unsigned. Wouldn't be surprised either if entire teams just sat in the lockeroom.
they used to never show the anthem on TV until about 10 years ago. Then suddenly in the last 22 months it became an issue.
They would do it for the Supet Bowls.
