And I'm free to support every word you typed!

If I c - a knee its adios to dat channel!

There is a new special channel that just came through on my new You Tube T V Prescription. I think I'll concentrate on dat one! No arguing no psychoanalyzing by a person who could be my parent.

It's gonna be what it's gonna be. Let 'Em Kneel! One day they won't be able to get up either.

It’s not just a FLAG, it’s our country’s FLAG and NATIONAL ANTHEM. Let’s just stop playing it at sporting events as they are now beneath the dignity of what the Flag and Anthem represent, as is the kneeling during the Anthem. The protest message is direly misplaced.

2. Make a list of all sponsors of the game and tell those sponsors will not be purchasing their product due to the disrespecting of our flag.

You are calling for a boycott of products, part of the whole cancel culture approach.

Then doing it at that time protests what? Answer: The Flag and what it represents. Misplaced venue and timing. How about they protest the violent protests their supposed peaceful protests have grown into. Nope.

The First Amendment DOES NOT protect you from a private business, it protects you from the government. Why do people always get this wrong?

So are you being killed by another black person? That's the vast majority of violence that occurs today. Why isn't there any outrage about that?
You know what... you kneel because of the "black on black" violence that occurs every day in America... I'll kneel next to you. But the "police violence?" Please...

Well said but still will not kneel during our Anthem. Do not understand why blacks are not more upset of this black on black violence.

You know what... I agree with you. But I'd like to see the "protesters" highlight something that really needs a spotlight vs. going after police.

Nothing says freedom like compulsory displays of patriotism.

I'm all set. Have my Aldi red box wine and bags of their Cheddar and Sour Cream chips ready. Gonna do a Nathans frank on the grill, with Sauerkraut, and Grey Poupon mustard. Walmart Amish Macaroni salad.

Can't wait for the pop of a 100 MPH fastball hitting a catchers mitt, or the crack of a homer on its way.

Don't care if they lay down naked.

PLAY BALL!

True compulsory is being forced to say 'black lives matter' while being forbidden to say 'all lives matter.'

Time seems to be passing you by. Refreshed Americans perspectives are changing attitudes from what they were. I guess freedom does win over tyranny after all and now allows you to speak up at your employer.

Most Americans now agree with Colin Kaepernick's protest: poll

Nobody is forcing you to say anything.

Oh by the way...if you are so righteous about 'All Lives Matter', where are you when DACA and immigration resistance is breaking up families and people are dying? Where are you when you see yourself and/or others not wearing masks and people are dying? Where are you when those that support the 2nd amendment demand assault rifles as 'their' right and our kids are dying?

Are you sure 'All Lives Matter'???

Maybe we should pay attention to the message instead of focusing on the method
