"Former LSU star Leonard Fournette among two dozen players to kneel for national anthem in London"

According to sauces, page 34 of Coach O's binder contains the policy that strictly prohibits the kneeling of any current Tigers.

Not really, I made that shite up. But does anyone think kneeling will become an issue in college football? I can think of a few that would take a knee on this team, no judgement

Doubt it. If anything, maybe the AD's will have an issue. Coaches will probably respect their athletes stance. Well...some coaches at least.

Kneeling is a symbol of humility. People are overreacting.

Its becoming ridiculous.
It does nothing but piss half the country off. Then they point the finger of somebody else being divisive.

Such a simple solution that the NFL could easily adopt and avoid this shite show that takes away from the enjoyment of watching or attending the game and now clogs up my Twitter and Facebook feeds.

I just hope we stop disrespecting and desecrating the flag by putting it on our uniforms and displaying it at night without a light on it and unfurling those huge flags that cover the whole field, with the flag themed golden girl outfits, etc.

thank god they aren't on the field, because it would become an issue most likely.

The Rant is probably incapable of having a nuanced conversation about this issue.

Its silent protesting. Maybe you don't understand the why behind it and that, in its own, is a problem itself.

From now on, I'm going to see kneeling as a form of showing extreme respect, like when we kneel to pray. Let's take away the meaning of what these idiots are trying to do.

I think everybody should kneel from now on. And bow your head while you are at it and thank God you have enough disposable income to attend such an event.

Well why don't you enlighten us. For those of us that don't know why they are kneeling.

The POTUS called these men SOBs. I think the kneeling was large in part of trump stoking the flames..

Hopefully things lighted up. I think trump has bigger things on his plate than this
