Pretty sure it’s Tranny’s being eligible to play. They are against Tranny Rights. They are also protesting the unpopularity of their sport.

No, you’re a little too close to the target. But well done.
Since you seem to have such a strong opinion... What’s your role in defending said country?
I guess your opinion is law then. If you didn’t serve, I guess you don’t get to vote? You really wanna go down that road?
I can’t wait to see their reaction when a trans-gender athlete takes a scholarships/roster spot from a deserving female, leads the league in all stats and wins POY honors. I mean, it’s all about equality and unity right?
I know you served. As did I. I’ve spoken to alot of my former Soldiers regarding this issue - of all colors and races, both officer and enlisted. The general consensus amongst those I know is that while we wouldn’t kneel, it’s their (the players) right to do so. Ultimately, we rose our right hand to protect certain ideals, one of them being freedom of expression.
I don’t really have an issue with players kneeling during the anthem. I need to reiterate, it’s not something I’d ever do but to each their own.
This whole thing is polarizing our country though ... we’ve lost sight about being able to have different opinions while maintaining civil discourse. It’s all “you’re anti-America, **** you, respect our flag or get the **** out” versus “you’re part of the problem and you’re racist if you don’t see where I’m coming from”
The thing I find funny is that Kapernick had a very pointed and real reason for kneeling. He had a platform (at the time a decent NFL QB) and he chose to use his platform to get his message out. Most who kneel now are just doing it to do it or to not look bad. It’s lost all meaning from the very reasons Kapernick first did so

Except those pictures are antifa goons also or payed actors really. Whatever role Soros needs them to play.
I honestly don’t think they even know.
Colin Kapernik started kneeling because he was getting benched
We live in an extreme world. Our country’s greatest flaw right now, IMO. Kneeling during the anthem can be both a silent statement and disrespectful, really depends on your perspective. And both views have equal merit. I think the bigger point is that if one is going to take a stance, then be prepared to defend that stance and do so with logic and reason and an open mind. At the same time, if someone is going to object to a stance, then also do it with logic and reason and do so with an open mind. We too quickly devolve into a baser survival mode where being “right” is all that matters - an “if you’re not with me then you’re against me” mentality while being absolutely positive our view is the right one. It’s killing our country from the inside out.
I may be wrong but I think most people have a problem with people breaching a federal building. I think they will get what they deserve. But then again, we have had months/years of people breaching government buildings and little to nothing has been done about it but I would guess that more people find that acceptable than those that breached the Capitol building.
I guess one time it and the country was defended after we were attacked. Rest of time been it's geopolitical..... power and money. Propaganda is a powerful and easily used tool, as we've been recently shown.
I was at the game and was so upset that the WF team all took a knee that I wanted to leave . However , our team stood tall and I was proud of them . Too bad the good gals didn't win the game but they won my heart .
Ahem
You might be more convincing if your avatar didn't already give away your position in advance of posting.
Here is my opinion, but I like to think it is pretty close to accurate.
There are many athletes that kneel as a protest to the social injustice. And that is their right. Good for them, if they truly feel that the country has wronged a race, or certain groups. I fought for their right to have the freedom to do that.
By the way, Collin Kaepernick did it as a publicity stunt. As should be widely known and accepted as fact, since he did it after being benched, and then days later, politically driven groups finally helped him develop the full story. And damn if Donald Trump didnt add gasoline to the fire that was about to die. I actually would like to see a team give CK a contract and put him out there for week 1 game next year and see what happens.
There are many protests and movements that are doing great for the need of helping equality. The Unity tshirts from the players at Clemson, the talks, like Dabo and Kathleen had last year with some players, things like that, that actually bring people together and share viewpoints in a respectful manner are great and what is needed.
But, as we heard concerning how some rivals attacked Clemson's programs for not doing ENOUGH last year are stupid. There is a huge difference between APPEARING to be doing a lot and ACTUALLY doing a lot for this mission.
I believe, that kneeling falls into the APPEARANCE category. And if you don't do it, you are shamed into not supporting the movement or the mission. And that is categorically false. Sure rivals will use it against Clemson in recruiting and such. I am sure Clemson sports have an ACTUAL presentation of what the university has ACTUALLY done for equality, and so when UGA says, we kneel for the National ANthem, and CLemson doesnt. then Clemson can refute that when given the opportunity.
This kneeling has gone from a bit to save a job, to supporting a movement, to now shaming if you don't. And it has been in the shaming category for a long time.
Just my take.
