    Being against the unjust execution of black men by police = supporting a controversial cause?

        That's the point, dipshit. Controversial actions bring attention to an important issue that you'd prefer to ignore.

        Only when those offended refuse to see beyond their own beliefs, ignoring the valid feelings of those they can't relate to.

        Matt there is something wrong with your outlook if you see taking a knee as more controversial than unjust killings of black people

        Matt doesn't play the anthem before every segment he records but he wants to talk shit about others. Matt acts like a qualifier. Fuck that.

        Which is PRECISELY why they're doing it. Do you prefer your protests to be quiet, polite, and unassuming? Yeah, everybody would notice that.

        Controversial, yes. But Trump is a tyrant, plain and simple, and must be rejected. Letting our concerned allies see it? All the better.

        The national anthem has no place being played before a private sporting event. Out dated nationalism.

        Their posture is not disrepectful, and still shows reverence. Disrespectful actions e.g. = talking, texting, acting oblivious or worse.
