Spoken from his own words.

Wait, nevermind... there wasn't anything out of his mouth that actually let us know what specifically he's kneeling and attention whoring himself for.

I bet you if you put 10 NFL kneelers in 10 separate rooms, you would get 10 different reasons on why they are kneeling.

Just like people never say what exactly is disrespectful about kneeling during the anthem or how it disrespects the military

Not only do most not know what they are protesting, the very few that do don't know what they are actually trying to achieve, the conversation had clearly been started. Now what? Protests without some clear, quantifiable goal are fricking retarded.

And it never was about the anthem. Only a handful were kneeling at all in week 1 and 2. Only after Trump called them out on it did they all decide to kneel. Why didn't they kneel at the beginning of the season? They all got their feelings hurt by Trump!!

KV and Cam on twitter have made it know that this isn't about the anthem. Underhill gave Vacarro a platform to explain his kneeling in the beginning and he explains nothing. And Underhill thinks that its all been very clearly laid out on objections and reasons for kneeling and what they want to accomplish. All faux bullshite.

horseshite.

Kaeperdick started it in protest of his perceived wrongdoings by this racist country and chose to show it by kneeling during our anthem as a slight to the country.

Yes. They did it on purpose during the anthem to protest.

But he also wonders what better platform exists. If the goal is to raise awareness and bring about change, the most effective place to do that is at a football game. “People were complaining about the platform we’re using,” Vaccaro said. “That’s the only platform that’s going to get attention. If I start doing it in the street, no one is going to pay attention to me. But if you do it to the anthem, and you’re not disrespecting the anthem, people are going to watch. People are tuning in now to see what we’re going to do and not watch the game. Don’t get the two confused.”


We won't if you won't ken

STHs did not expect political protest to erupt at a football game. So the Saints should offer refunds.

Please explain it to a veteran who didn't swear an oath to a flag, but to protect the constitution, and who sees worse violations of the flag code by those who are so disrespected by the kneeling.

So in an article titled "Kenny Vaccaro explains choice to sit during anthem" he doesn't give a single substantive reason for sitting?

The closest thing I got was this:
KV - "You have to understand the real reason why people were taking a knee. A lot of people were doing it because of the president’s comments, but I was going to do it regardless.”

And then he still doesn't give an actual reason. If these guys want people to stop booing and getting pissed at them it would help to at least be transparent.

FWIW I respect their right to kneel if their bosses allow it. But I also think it is disrespectful if done during the anthem and I don't agree with their reasons.
