So when should players stand for the national anthem again?

[Votto]

When the reason for kneeling is no longer necessary. It is meant to bring attention to the fact that something is wrong and the country as a whole is not getting it yet. We've been watching these videos of unarmed black men getting murdered by police across the country. They want that to stop. That all of these cops are aquitted if the case is brought to trial is merely an echo of how it was in the South for a century. It didn't matter what the police did to black people, no one would convict them in southern states.

A black man is selling cigarettes on the sidewalk and is choked to death while pleading that he can't breath. A black man is in a car with his girlfriend and a small child and tells the police officer he has a concealed weapon and a permit and is killed while the girlfriend films it. A cop empties the clip into the back of a 50 year old black man as he is slowly running away and if there was no video of this the cop would still be a cop.

Something is wrong and these are human beings. How loudly do they have to scream before someone acknowledges something is wrong. The bad cops need to be gotten rid of. The good cops retrained.

Kneeling at an NFL game is just a much larger podium from which to say 'something is wrong and it isn't being addressed, it needs to be fixed'.

And the entire country watches videos of blacks killing blacks in droves
in many American Cities...led by the crown jewel...Chicago.

If Blacks don't worry about other blacks killing blacks, why the frickin'
hell, should I worry when a cop kills one who is resisting arrest?

Dims don't see the black genocide of black on black violence, they only see a few police officers who shoot black men, even if those police officers are black themselves.

The black genocide I think would take more of their attention, but it does not, nor do they take into account that police officers have to deal with the black genocide on a daily basis, which means at some point they will have to use violence themselves to deal with it.

And yes, the country gets it, but Dims don't.

#1. Should he resign, too.

So it's not really about social injustice, it is just about Trump and his mouth, right?

It was when like 5 players a week were doing it. Now it's about the orange pedophile in the White House.

Bidens no longer there Dude

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how did doing the anthem before a game get started in the first place?

God bless you always!!!

Well apparently the national anthem has been played at sporting events for a very long time, but recently NFL players have been asked to participate, going back to 2009. In fact, the government has been paying for it apparently.

Actor says NFL players’ role in national anthem ceremonies is a government ‘scam’

According to one perspective, the government started paying the NFL to have the players participate in the national anthem in the NFL in order to help increase recruitment for over seas wars.

Interesting.

You know what the say, the root of all evil is the love of money, and the government has all the money. So if you want to find the evil, just look to guberment.

I know, and he never was.

It was wise not to run him. He would have been worse than Hillary, as hard as it is to fathom.

Just like they do the term racist.

Everyone that opposes them politically is a racist as well.
