    We live in day and age where two world class athletes have been effectively banned from the NFL over a peaceful demonstration. It's hard to know the time in history that you are living in when you are in it, but we are living in a truly disturbing time.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/999338647622160384 …

    Will the @NFL still effectively ban Colin Kaepernick & Eric Reid from the league now that they have banned taking a knee? Or will they allow these men to earn a living back in the league now that they've banned their chosen form of protest? A grave injustice either way. pic.twitter.com/lrlbJrFOkY

        And what does the National anthem have to do with sporting events anyway? I could understand the olympics, but a football game?

        I completely agree with you on that. We don't have the anthem before other events, like say concerts. why sporting events? seems silly.

        Because the Department of Defense pays the NFL to do so.

        The irony in this is they changed to taking a knee to honor our military while peacefully protesting injustice. The @nfl and a lot of it’s fans have chosen to ignore that fact bc it doesn’t fit their narrative 😔

        We all need to wake up. Everyone's rights is being taken away. It's ignorant to think that because it hasn't happened to you, it won't!

        We also live in a world where you can lie and push an agenda that’s completely wrong. You make an apology to that Texas police officer yet?
