EVERYONE making millions to play a game should adopt a pose of ceaseless gratitude. That it needs to be pointed out is devastating to you.

People with large platforms & fame & money need to ceaselessly speak out against injustice for those who are unable to be heard.
-
Yes, they should speak out re: real injustice but what exactly did the flag ever do to them? Why not personally sacrifice sit out a game?
-
I am sure we all appreciate your constructive criticism & advice on how best to protest a social justice.
-
However, the country the flag represents seems to have an uncomfortable tendency to murder unarmed black people. They would like it to stop.
-
The whole country? Is that not an overstatement?
-
I suppose not, when you're black. Michael Bennett, one of the NFL protesters, had a cop put a gun to his head & threaten to blow it off.
-
If the problem is as widespread/urgent as you say, taking a knee seems an inadequate response.

Once everyone stops losing their minds over this, I hope the REASONS behind the protests are addressed. Hard truths but necessary.
-
Agreed, but not going to happen. Which is in part why we see all of these diversion tactics. They don't want the discussion.

Dear America, we take a knee to pray for our country to stop racial division.

So true. There is belief that as long as an AA is being paid a good salary, he/she should suck it up and not complain about treatment.
-
Exactly why you keep hearing white NFL fans saying we own you this is our time. They have a warped since of entitlement.
-
You protest the same government you demand be in charge of your healthcare. Makes sense.
-
Yes I do. I protest policies I believe are wrong but govt is necessary.
-
And what specific policy are you protesting?
-
Why do you care?
-
Just checking to see if you even know what you're protesting. Apparently you have no idea.
-
And I support your right to believe whatever you want.
