People are so sensitive now we can't even ask a question?

Actually, I view this as people being overly sensitive just because they saw someone that wasn't doing what everyone else was doing.
The media is looking for a story that isn't there.

What is sensitive about a question? About a person asking another person for information on something?
Why does it bother you so much that one total stranger has asked another total stranger a question?

Nope, just a throwaway question. Only people making a big deal about this are the "all lives matter" crowd that think this is something when it never was.

I'm just confused as to why you would be so concerned by it, and am trying to understand your thoughts on the matter.
See how I can answer a question? Now, would you answer mine?

Media sees something out of the ordinary, in this case a player who isn't doing something that everyone else is doing.
Media asks them about it.

The NBA has been pretty clear they are letting anyone do what ever they want. That's what he did. The only people pushing this story are people that want to keep it in the news to satisfy their own agenda.

Media asks something stupid.

Media: Excuse me but I noticed you were the only person that was not crying at the funeral. I want to ask you why that is, are you not sad that this person is dead?

I have an issue with the media making assumptions about him just because he chose not to kneel or wear a shirt.
Just like how I think you were wrong for making the assumption that he was against racism because he didn't kneel or wear a shirt.

The media are not making assumptions, that's why they are asking him to clarify himself.
If they were making assumptions, there would be no need for asking him questions. See how that works?
If you don't want the media asking him to clarify in his own words you are opening them up to making the exact assumptions you don't want.

I mean, yeah? They asked Kaepernick why he kneeled when he started doing it. And asked Isaac and Popovich etc. when they stood while everyone else kneeled. Why is this baffling to you?
