At this point I don't even know. The only time I notice them is when others bring it up.

Looks like each player who is kneeling has their own reason. And, they wonder why people think they are silly.

how can you tell what each player is thinking while he is kneeling? I boycotted last year and will do the same this year. They are only hurting themselves and future contracts and endorsement potential.

They're trying to draw attention to police officers being such racists that they murder black people on video.

They are protesting systemic oppression against people of color, police brutality, and the criminal justice system. You could have Googled it.

I don't know if this was the reason, but it's doing a great job at identifying the people who care more about an inanimate piece of cloth than actual people.

No Sport, I know what they say..... but why at a football game that people pay to see ?


Why not go lie down and link arms across the nearest Interstate ? That would attract more attention, surely you'd agree.

And the fact that we sing the national anthem before every sporting event and wave a 100 yard flag is kinda weird

They're basically protesting based on a conspiracy theory. There is no statistics to back up their claims. In fact, statistics would prove them completely wrong if they weren't so racist.
