frick that country that allows them to play a child's game and make millions. I am sure the human rights in Northern Africa would suit their needs better.

Cop out, and if I were on the team I'd tell them, you guys lock up. I'm standing with my right hand over my heart.

While Im indifferent about this protest, I get it, but one sure fact is, neither younor anyone knows what Northern Africa would be if my ancestors would have been left be, but becuase we were thought to be less than your ancestors at that time, for being darker than our European counterparts AND the fact that the same belief is true now for many of our "America Brethren" some 400 years later. Maybe if that weren't the case, you wouldn't see this kind of protest.

They aren't disrespecting the flag any worse than half the fans that are drunk, trying to stand, for the National Anthem

It is actually sad that everyone on the team is willing to protest about something stupid.

I am at the Alabama game. Just before kickoff, a group of ten or twelve Bama players knelt along the goal line (not during the national anthem).

Not sure if t was politically motivated, as it looked like they were in prayer. Almost the whole team participates in the post game prayer, though.

I can't find any mention of it on any Bama boards.

I've never seem a small group kneel along the goal line like that. Maybe it was a prayer, but I haven't seen it before.

You don't need to protest the national anthem to get your message out.
I dont think you understand what they're doing:

Agreed.

They aren't exactly the most intelligent people either.

We should disregard 95% of what they say.

The other 5% should be about whether I should pick/play them in fantasy.

Well of course, I don't exactly take much of any advice from entertainers.

Well, that's the last time I report from the field, then. Now I know how the press feels.
