        How is this better than taking a knee? It feels like white fragility - trying to protect the white players that don't want to participate.

        I don't know about the titans but the Seahawks specifically said it was an act of protest. I think it was a powerful move.pic.twitter.com/W7xuy70usB

        The public statement helps... The visual would have been better. Let's see if anyone on the team makes contradictory comments afterwards.

        You don't like the visual of absolute absence? I think the absence of players rings way louder.

        She looked so nervous and it made me so proud of her. Think she's a country singer, too, so extra ballsy given the fan base.

        Exactly. Ballsy and overall awesome to see her kneel for what she believes in.

        Im all for the protest, but we are being distracted from tbe ACA repeal. That is far from over and Trump wants us busy

        It absolutely is. If we focus on the NFL, he think we will lose sight of #GrahamCassidy and #KushnerEmails We won’t.
