All I know is I got raked over the coals on this board for defending Kaep when this all started because it had nothing to do with the military. The anthem is just a song. Ripping him for taking a knee is as absurd as taking away Tommie Smith’s Olympic medal for holding up a fist on the medal stand.
There are thousands of people in every city taking knees now. Seems like Kaep had an impact most of us will never match and Goodell admitted today they were wrong not to listen to their players. The NFL owners were intimidated by the racist in chief.
kaep was the brave man that took a stand just like ali and mlk did. mlk called for basically the same thing as kaep,yet he was murdered for it. ali was hated at one point but when he died everyone wanted a piece of him. kaep did something when it was wasnt popular,very few stuck their necks out. now the same necks in hiding are jumping on the bandwagon...now that its popular. thank god for 9 minuted of video. like I said before,sad that a sports figure had to take the brunt of criticism when our politicians are too cowardly to speak up. black America have been waiving the flag trying to tell us,unfortunately the white populace have been deaf and intentionally naive to their plight.
