OT: this is only going to get worse....
.. before it gets better. Kneeling seems to be bringing out different sides of people. I don't have a stance on this, as I feel anyone should be able to do what they want, within moral reason. I believe every one is entitled to their opinion (no matter how crazy some may be) but for some reason, this makes me feel some type of way (not just because they are patriots fans) but yeah....

There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

""Old white people" hold this country back "... wow, way to categorize people into one group.
With that being said, the people in that video are idiots.

lol, i'm half white and say that. The majority of them have close minded views. Do you not see 31/32 NFL owners are rich old white men that suppressed Kaepernick all year? Obviously not all are, but a majority are.

I don't care what race you are - it's views similar to that on both sides of the fence that put this country in this place.

The flag isn't a living thing. It doesn't have emotions. If a player is kneeling and illustrating that he still respects the military and country, there isn't an issue.
The only issue I have is that the kneeling should be due to the racial injustice / police brutality, not because of what that idiot 45 says. His words mean nothing.
I just feel like Kaepernick's symbol for kneeling has been lost in the past week. Let's get back to the issue.

It's really not though. If I'm half white and saying that the majority rich old white people are a problem, I'm speaking facts. There are obviously outliers and progressive thinkers that fit that criteria, but the majority fall in line with that. All the owners that donated money, donated to Trump. All of the owners suppressed Kaepernick out of a job.

Those last 70 seconds, Randle in a nut shell.
Awful 2 for 1 3PT attempt when we are up 2
Doesn’t close out on Sabonis --> open 3
Takes another side step off balance 3
We got sucked into the Randle vortex where all good feelings go to die.

Apparently, 84 percent of people support the players kneeling (within a 4% margin of error)
It's the same usual thing of the people who disapprove are in the minority, but are extremely loud
It's their right to protest, they're doing it peacefully, and kneeling is a sign of respect (an ex Green Beret advised Kaepernick to kneel instead of sit, as kneeling would be respectful to the flag still)

The view "majority of xyz people " is the root of racism and prejudice. It leads people to prejudge others without knowing anything about them. Shameful

Agreed. We as people have to stop putting ourselves and others into bubbles and judging based off of them. The rise of Identity Politics is worse than it has been in a very long time. I don't care what your race, gender, ethnicity, nationality or religion are. I try to judge people on the merits of their character and their actions as people. When you kneel during the national anthem I don't care what your agenda is your actions show disrespect.
