FROM AN EMAIL:
The epitome of intellectual absurdity: In a recent polling of 585 NFL players, nearly all of them were unsure of exactly what they
are protesting regarding the position of kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem. Here’s a sampling of responses to the question “What are you protesting by kneeling during the National Anthem?”
“Pretty sure it’s against Nazis - especially the white ones.”
“We’re protesting America becoming capitalistic instead of equal.”
“I’m protesting against Trump saying black lives don’t matter.”
“We’re against global warming and the police.” “We’re showing the world that we care about, ah, things such as.... such as... ah, freedom from suppression?”
“Me and my fellow players are protesting the Constitution of Independence because of what it does to people of color.”
“We are displaying our right to stand up by kneeling for our beliefs.” (another Yogi Berraism)
“We are protesting Trump, because he, you know, keeping the black man down.”
“Myself is kneeling to show that just because I’m American don’t mean I got to act like one.”
All above comments are from National Football League players with 4 years of an American College “Education.” Average player salary $1,900,000......is this a great country or what !!!
I think we have lost interest in what they are protesting against. The courts say that they have a right, they can urinate on the flag, defecate on the flag, scrimmage on the flag --- and I do not have to support them!
I can hardly wait to see them return to the trash heaps that we bought them out of. GO GATORS! SINK 'EM SEMINOLES! :^)
It appears that a number of NFL players are displaying brain traumas earlier than they may be assuming they will.
I saw a good meme something like NFL players stand when they hear, “will the defendant rise” ;)
