According to their website, “the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE) is an unprecedented alliance of professional sports leagues, organizations, athletes, educators, media networks and sports professionals using sports to bring people together to promote understanding, respect and equality. Through public awareness campaigns and educational programming, RISE aims to improve race relations.”
What about women’s sports, what about youth sports, what about gay and transgender athletes in sports, what about adaptive sports.....I could do this all day.
But their only concern identified as race relations. At that point by their own words they are no longer trying to promote understanding, respect, and equality. They have become a short sided activist group using lies to create a blanket of trust for their efforts to re-educate people, many of them kids, and race relation failures in this country of which they will probably not identify themselves as a major part of it. So what are they doing any different than taking a knee and not accomplishing anything else? They are actively seeking out people to take a knee with them. And that doesn’t get it improved.

Defending Entitled Moronic Initiative in Sports for Equality (DEMISE)
You do not promote understanding, respect and equality by denigrating a person's national symbol and heritage.
What is so hard to understand about that.
