        The calculated insult that these kneelers throw in my face make me measurably less willing to consider any actual arguments. That's the danger with using insults to push your agenda.

        Speaking out against unjustified police violence during the National Anthem is like protesting war at a service member’s funeral.

        How are they supposed to handle gang brutality? Street gang members who want a free reign of territories are loving this.

        I don't see gang violence as a contributing factor in the many incidents of young black men being shot for no apparent reason.

        But how do we reach C's who say Eric Garland is solely responsible for his own death b/c he resisted arrest? *All* my C friends think so.

        The bigger problem is that without the controversy of the NFL protests, the people you are trying to reach are immune to your observation.

        The irony is that it just gave you a chance to make the point to them. You can thank @Kaepernick7 and all the other @NFL players who kneel.
