        I've been for kap kneeling from day 1 and nothing drove me more nuts than those who said he disrespect the military when he made it clear why he protested... but the same applies to meyers, his decision to stand, yet say he's behind the BLM movement should not be criticized

        Taking the knee is an act of political prayer, a dialogue, a reminder of what the Flag & the Constitution represent; a simple, profound, non violent & respectful act of protest. Those who claim to be supportive but want their cake & eat it, should not talk while they're eating.

        Good for him. 👍😎 Who says that you have to conform to support change. I still think submission is inappropriate but do what you feel is ‘right’ because the majority is going to follow the crowd anyway.
