National Anthem
Recently NFL players have been kneeling during the national anthem. There is only two reasons why the athletes knelled, it could be for the same reason Colin Keapernick kneed, but also it could just be because they are standing up to what Donald Trump said about players that knee are son of a bitches and that they should get fired. The reason Keapernick knelled was to protest about police brutality and the injustices in the black community. So over the weekend every football team had players that knelled during national anthem and that really triggered a lot of fans. They were mad because they didn't pay to watch them protest and kneel, and they think its very disrespectful and a lot of the fans are veterans so they are disrespecting them. There were many people that were on their side, for example, other athletes from different organizations were also mad about that Donald Trump said about people who kneel are stupid and son of a bitches. This shows how we are all coming together to stand up to Trumps stupidity. A question I have is, Are the NFL teams going to continue to kneel or was it just a one time thing? Another question is if, All the people knelling are going to do something else than just kneel? For example, Kaepernick donated money to organizations fighting for rights and standing up to whats wrong and he started an organization called "Know your rights.

This brings up a good point because are the athletes taking a knee because of police brutality and the social injustices to the black community, or are they taking a knee because of what Trump is saying about them. Personally I don't care if they take a knee or not but if they do I hope they are doing it for the social injustices.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this and I think it is a great post because it brings up an issue that I have not thought of. I agree with what they're standing up for and I believe in their right to do so but I do not believe that that is the right time or place to be protesting and expressing your political views. From what I've seen it seems like the people that have recently started protesting are doing it because, if they didn't, they would risk harming their reputation. I do not think as many people will continue and I do not think they're all doing it for the right reasons.
