None of this kneeling offends or upsets me. I wouldn't do it, but I have no causes that would benefit from it

But I think it's more of the parents doing than the kids doing it for their own reasons. That's what upsets me _________________ If she sits on your face and you can still hear, SHE'S NOT FAT.

Kaepernick should have been fined and suspended the first time he pulled that shit.
Pretty sure there is a clause in his contract that would prohibit something like that. Morals, insubordination, improperly representing the team, etc. As the owners are finding out now, the fans don't like it and it is costing them money. "That survey indicated 30 percent of the viewers who watched less football in 2016 than they did the season prior said they did so because they were offended by players protesting the anthem.

Quote: Kneeling is a basic human position where one or both knees touch the ground. It is used as a resting position, during childbirth and as an expression of reverence and submission. Quote: be in or assume a position in which the body is supported by a knee or the knees, as when praying or showing submission: "they knelt down and prayed" I think sitting is quite inappropriate. But Kneeling.....that might actually be better than standing up. |

What bothers me about THIS situation is the coach boiled it down to "black people being killed, and nobody going to jail"... The issues are so much more complex, it is, literally, beyond the comprehension of even many adults. To dilute it down like that for eight year old kids is a mindfuck they don't even know they got.

While the act into itself doesn't bother me much, it is the circumstances that has MADE the act of 8 year olds doing so.
No friggen kid is going to do this on his own accord. This rests soley upon the coach and parents. These offspring will be the ones complaining about jobs and opportunities. They more than highly likely won't join the armed services. They will vote whomever promises them the most benefits without effort. They will be the first to cry discrimination when they don't like something, or someone has an opinion other than their own. Society has failed. Society has failed so far into the darkness, there is no hope of change due to the very reason 8 year old children take a knee. |

Bad coach. I completely agree with this. But like I said above, kneeling in and of itself doesn't bother me. You kneel before the King, you kneel before god. Kneeling is a sign of respect. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/36/301 Quote: (a)Designation.— The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem. (b)Conduct During Playing.—During a rendition of the national anthem— (1) when the flag is displayed— (A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; (B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and (C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and (2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed. What about 2 hands behind the back? Where did these traditions even come from? |
