I admit, I haven’t given this much thought since I’m not a sports enthusiast, but here’s my 2 cents anyway…
Why did they kneel?
According to Aaron Morrison: “San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced his decision to sit down or take a knee during the national anthem to call attention to police violence and injustice in black America. His act of protest followed several high-profile fatal police shootings of black men this summer — including the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in July.”
I believe that anyone should be able to kneel or stand at the national anthem, but it’s just not that simple to me. So in principle I agree with Kaepernick’s right to kneel… but I have a few problems with that…
