re: When your favorite college team takes a knee, are you out?

Well, Texas coach Tom Herman made a statement the other day, kind of like this: You’ll boo their asses off during the anthem, but cheer like madmen when they score touchdowns.

In case anyone is wondering, it would bother me. The showboating and thuggery for about 15 years has bothered me. But the way I look at it, they are nothing but mercenaries, so that tends to help.

This is currently up in the air and the wind is blowing the wrong direction.

Fixed it for him

I can’t argue with you. I despise the entitled, pot-bellied, middle-aged Texas fan who boos at the drop of a hat from pure self-entitlement. And that’s a sizable part of the fanbase.

If you knew me personally, you would understand that I’m not like that.

Absolutely out.

Not like we were going to have a winning season anyway.

I don’t care but I will not kneel. And because I won’t kneel doesn’t mean I’m a racist nor approve of racist.

Holy cow, I never thought about people in the stands kneeling. That would definitely cause tension.

I don't understand why everyone freaks out when they bend the knee to the flag. We bend our knee to the lord in church; we bend our knee to royalty; in empirical countries like Japan and England the greatest form of respect is on bended knee; hell coaches even tell their players to take a knee when they want to tell them something important. I understand that people see it as some form of disrespect, but they claim they are not disrespecting the flag. Why not take their word for it and just assume they just have massive amounts of reverence for old glory that literally knocks them to their knees.

That's the kind of attitude that will get you sent to the camps first.
