Is it ok to kneel during the "black national anthem?" Asking for a friend.

Yeah, we've blown past "equality" right into "special treatment", effectively re-segregating. Ironic.

Nope. It’s our national anthem. If you change it to something else I’m fine with that as long as it’s America the Beautiful or My Country ‘Tis Of Thee. But our national anthem should remind us how we all exist in this melting pot and we should take pride in it. If you can’t get on board with that then we are having a different discussion. And the board knows I am okay with peaceful protest, BLM, and changing the State flag.

Yes, this will bring even more separation. So putting names of victims on jerseys and helmets? Here's a novel idea, how about putting the names of OUR military that have lost their lives in battle fighting for the very freedom they play under on these jerseys and helmets. Oh, wait, there wouldn't be enough 17ing jerseys or helmets to hold them all. This makes me sick to my core!

Having recently displayed increased awareness about the problems of systemic racism, the NFL, in collaboration with the NFL Players Association, is also considering listing the names of victims on uniforms through decals on helmets or patches on jerseys.

I thought the NFL was adamently against things like that. I guess unless it serves the politcal purpose they agree with.

It doesn’t make you a racist

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29401000/nfl-plans-play-black-national-anthem-week-1-games

So maybe this makes me a racist, but I wonder if playing different anthems for different groups of people at a football game divides us instead of unites us.

I mean I get using the O Canada when you're playing Toronto, but this isn't the same thing.

It makes you an American. Divide and conquer, thats the way the left operates. They dont want us all as just Americans. Easier to pit groups against one another for political gain if you can keep pointing out differences. They dont want us living together in harmony. Google Rules for Radicals. Its all in there.

We should never play ANY national anthem on American soil except the AMERICAN national anthem. We are going in circles. Re-segregating football. What a crock of shat.

There is no other country on earth that has such a diverse mix of people living in relative harmony. Anybody, regardless of race, can be whatever their talents will allow in this country.

The ******** needs to stop.

The ratings dropped 17% when Kap was doing his kneeling. That will be nothing compared to what’s to come if we continue the current course imo.

It’s insane how we are re-segregating, and it’s the Democrats behind it, AGAIN, and a huge number of people don’t even see it. It’s really incredible.

I’m willing to give 15% of the country to anyone who wants to move there.

They can pick any 15% they want as long as its all connected.

Play whatever you want. Do whatever you want. Let in whoever you want. AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN YOUR AREA.

I’d be willing to give more % if more people want to move there.

Let me let you in on a secret.

The radical left is going to push and push and push until it’s going to cause a serious issue.

Who do you think is going to win then? I mean we will all lose, but who “wins”?

The side who is worried abt their feelings and hates guns. Or the side who isn’t into their “feelings” and owns a crazy amount of guns?

I choose paying for my own health care and college and lower taxes.

College doesn’t look as appealing as it once did.

The side who is worried abt their feelings

Is that the side whose feelings are so ******** they aren't gonna watch football anymore cause the NFL is helping to bring attention to the tax funded police murdering our citizens?

Chicago July 4, 2020 weekend just said, “challenge accepted.”

Nearly 90% of murdered white people are murdered by other white people. Your Chicago point is stupid and has nothing to do with tax funded police officers murdering American citizens.

I think I’m going to tune in on some international soccer and see if I can get interested. Football has been dying over the last 10-15 years anyway being sissified to the point of being ridiculously slanted towards offense. This is a sure way to permanently destroy part of the NFL fan base.

It’s kind of ironic, I’d bet a Benjamin that the NFL has created more black millionaires than any industry or company on earth. But that’s not enough, they have go out of their way to create a divide. Just as after Floyd was murdered, >90% of Americans were united in outrage the next day. Those responsible were going to feel the full weight of the law. But that wasn’t enough. No matter what is done, it will never be enough.

One side complains that we shouldn’t see color. A man is a man and should be judged not by the color of his skin but of his merit. When hiring, color should not be seen or matter. When riding on a bus, color should not be seen. When going to the water fountain, color should not be seen. When going to schools, color should not be seen. In the eyes of the law, color should not be seen. But now all the sudden, in the industry that has created more millionaires than any other, we are supposed to see color. Well which way does the left want it. Are we supposed to see color or aren’t we.

And yes those of color have been treated inhumanly for centuries, some are still treated wrongly to this day. But for those of us that acknowledge that and want to treat all races as we would like to be treated, tell us how you want it. Do you want us to see color or don’t you? Please let us know and then be consistent. It sure would solving problems easier on us all.
