    Several players have told me their teams are considering every player taking a knee, but that white players don’t feel comfortable.

        I support your right to kneel. But does that mean I don’t have the right to disagree?

        I agree with this, but your first statement had "you" rather than "I" in it.

        It was won and continues to be won under the 1st Amendment. Disagreement is part of that victory.

        Right! And the fact that they don't feel comfortable with standing up for the mistreatment of BP tells it all.
