Ole Miss’ Kermit Davis Addresses His Players Who Took A Knee During Anthem

So... there were people celebrating the CONFEDERACY and you decided to protest the AMERICAN side. How brilliant is that?

Isn't it amazing how the Old South loves America more and is more Patriotic than any other place in America, by far? Literally?

Players were just trying to get extra attention. None of them could probably tell you who won the Civil War.

So, protesting against the USA who fought against the Confederacy. Yeah, that's logical.

I would have never known the group was even there if the players didn’t draw attention to it. The players gave free publicity to the group that they wanted to go away.

The US beat the confederacy to end slavery and these fools play for the Ole Miss Rebels. What a bunch of dipshits.

I fail to understand how protesting the flag, which is the very reason you have the right to protest will ever accomplish anything. It seems like by now it would be realized that these protest have not worked because the message is lost.

And... how does kneeling during the national anthem protest hate groups again? Get sports out of schools, these kids clearly need to focus on education if they are that damn dumb. Coaches are also spineless and don't care about teaching, as long as they can churn top flight athletes through and increase their payday. frick

Did the Star Spangled Banner plan the Confederate Ralley?

It's OM basketball so how many people may have seen this? Like 10 maybe....

ESPN didn't waste any time putting the player press conference on display. With the kneeler saying we don't wan't hate groups on campus. Even though they are just protesting history being erased. The liberal brainwash continues. To the detriment of both sides.

I HATE Illinois Nazis.

Honestly they knew everyone would talk about which would allow them the opportunity to get this info out there about the group meeting at ole miss. I didn’t know until the player put the spotlight on it. As for Kermit, I’d rather a man stand tall for his players than to run a hide. I wonder what dale would of done?

Hopefully this stuff will continue to get publicized. It keeps the people with common sense stirred up and at the voting booth. #MAGA

He should have said "special thanks to my players for making this a huge pain in my arse..."

Leftist progressives are the only hate groups on campuses around the country these days. Hypocrites are going to be hypocrites I suppose.

I guess if you suck as bad as they do in basketball, may as well humble yourself and take a knee.

if the players want to protest that other group, on their OWN TIME, that’s fine, but I fail to see how protesting America, by kneeling, accomplishes that. All it does is piss off a large percentage of the nation.

Seems as if there are alot of snowflakes butt hurt over some college kids here. A knee is a symbol of respect in ebery circumstance except this one in the eyes of the right. The left is dumb for doing this, but who gives a flying frick? It's dumb for the right to continue to protest for the confederacy. Lol. Continue to cry mf's. Continue to cry.

Pathetic.
