If the WHY is being ignored maybe they need to present their cause in a better way. You're not going to further your cause by ****ing off your intended audience.
The first player to sit/kneel explained his reason immediately, and remember he and a few others were the only ones UNTIL it was made political.

When it was made political, it was turned around and the reason was NEVER discussed.
