Nearly 100 pastors and community leaders plan to hold a Kneel-In protest outside Bank of America Stadium before the start of the Carolina Panthers-Philadelphia Eagles NFL football game on Thursday night.
The protest intends to highlight ongoing police brutality and social and racial injustice, just as former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick did while the national anthem was played before a 2016 NFL game, Bishop Kevin Long of Temple Church International-Charlotte told the Observer.
These things have yet to be properly addressed in our judicial system and the like, Long said.

“Are Jesse and Sharpie going to be there??”
Oh, you mean the never-ordained, self-proclaimed, FAKE pastors! Those guys?
“They need to read Walter Williams article...”
Ha ha ha. “Read.” You think any of them can READ?
They’ll kneel outside the stadium?
My only question is, who’s gonna notice?
CNNMSNBCABCCBSNYTLATAPFNCReutersUPI and the Charlotte Observer.
Just wait until some friendly redneck chooses to show his privilege and offers them a beer and a brat from his tail-gating party. Then they can really be offended!
Even if they could they could sum up the Professor’s article in one word: Hate Speech.
Don’t watch the NFL.
Eagles who I have followed since 1948 ha 3 bleeps giving the black power fist last game
It is killing me but I quit watching after their 2nd game
Rebels without a clue.
Hopefully it will rain hard.
i expected this...itll spread to all the stadiums....they’ll get violent. Ratings plunging...league full of criminals....attacking the Anthem and the US Flag....way to go Goodell....Rozelle is spinning in his grave.
I have been an Eagles fan since boyhood. The only game I ever went to was at Franklin Field in 1960. Never made it to the vet. Oh for the days when Frank Rizzo was mayor of Philly. Would have been fun to see his boys take their truncheons to any knee-takers outside the stadium.
How special
Please join the “kneeling ceremony” at 1 am Sunday in the middle of I-95. Wear dark clothing.
Good old Rizzo.... He could pull a Move headquarters on them and they would be toast!
We. Don’t. CARE.
Kneel in what?
I think it's located right next to the x-rated video store.
Both teams should honor this protest by not playing tonight. I really could care less if after the coin toss they play karaoke, the hokey-pokey, kneel, sit, stand, pick their noses, pick each other’s noses, whatever...
Last night I had the honor of watching my son’s high-school football team pep rally. Every one of those kids stood hand on heart - and many of them sang along to the National Anthem. Friday night lights- tomorrow, FAR better than NFL.
“Ongoing police brutality?” Where? What did I miss?
