Mostly White Private School Girl's Soccer Team Kneels

This is getting ridiculous
Nine girls on the Traip Academy varsity soccer team took a knee during the national anthem before Monday’s game, and three of them are now complaining about the public backlash.
The girls – junior Beti Stevens, junior Mia Dickinson, and freshman Zadie Lauer – told SeacoastOnline that they were inspired by NFL players over the weekend and took a knee to draw attention to “racial justice.”
“The thing that really hit me today wasn’t necessarily all the nasty things students had to say, it was the fact they were not willing to take the time to listen,” Stevens said. “What we’re trying to get at here is we know there is ignorance and we know there is talk now, but this (stunt) was to bring some level of awareness to the issue and now we’re calling for education.”
Unfortunately, because of how they instigated the conversation, few are willing to hear them out.

The kneeling or the constant threads checking on every school, team and person in the country?

These kids have no idea what they are doing.
They are doing this solely because they know it will get them attention.

So, a bunch of white kids at a mostly white PRIVATE school decide to make a statement and support kneeling... Do they even venture outside of their (probably) lilly white neighborhood to see the real world?

It speaks to the successful brainwashing of our entire education system by liberal progressives. It's basically a continuation of Obama's Transformation of America. Any tradition that conflicts with the leftist agenda is being successfully dismantled.

I don't remember the Anthem being played before any of our soccer games in high school. Just let the kids play the damn game.

There is a reason the Founders did not allow females to vote.

They play the anthem at a girls soccer game?

It is a globalist / communist sport, so it would not surprise me...

How many could tell you the century that the Civil War occurred or could tell you what the term mortgage means or could manage to stay alive if their parents put a padlock on the fridge? We are creating a new class of moral idiots and entering a new and worse phase of American decadence.

High school girls looking for attention...color me shocked.

It's obvious to me that the cause is getting lost in the protests and few really know what the cause is.
I suggest these protesters need to pick a color that isn't already taken and wear ribbons that are that color to help bring awareness to the cause.
Can a cause be a real cause without a color and a ribbon?

Seriously, I think all of the colors are taken... even "rainbow"...

Exactly why this cause can't get off the ground, and why no one has an idea of what they are protesting.
Maybe someone could start a GoFundMe do they can raise money to invent a color?

Just a fad like the ice bucket challenge at this point.

Right. Because it was the all women football players who started this shite.

They probably do, if you call getting railed by half the hood just to get back at Mommy and Daddy in a desperate cry for attention. But yet the parents still rather throw money at whatever situation than actually spend time with them.
Lot's of spoiled upper middle class, if not actually wealthy, parents would rather focus on social and financial success rather than success of their spawn (which was itself for the social success of the parents).

Good thing I wasn't planning on paying to see them play either.
