The only solution is to keep the teams in the locker room during the anthem. If the players, coaches and owners want to use the anthem to protest every fckg thing that suits them they should not be part of the ceremony.
Another thing that should be publicized is what companies sponsor the athletes that kneel and start boycotting the sponsors.
The urban myth that the knee started as a protest against police brutality has now morphed into a far left/black protest against the POTUS and the White America that supports him. The other urban myth is that only whites can be classified racist and discriminatory. Korean grocers can be boycotted in Crown Heights. The racist black leaders said it was because the Koreans were not employing local blacks but were employing Latinos. Inconvenient truths are buried by the mainstream press or they too are considered racist.
What the far left should fear is that the mad tweeter Trump steps down or is replaced by Mike Pence who is one of the most conservative politicians in decades. Whether they like it or not this administration is here to stay for 4 years and to stay in denial mode while the economy improves, the Dow breaks records, etc. will leave the far left and possibly the black community marginalized in 3 years.
You can take the knee until it is calloused but you better have good reason for the American that votes to support you 3 years from now because if you are not going to be part of the solution you are going to be viewed as part of the problem. Hillary lost an election because she was viewed as part of the *Obama * problem and the political inertia over 8 years. If the America that voted in a black President twice is racist in the view of the knee takers then nothing, nada, will ever change their view. If the majority of the 14 per cent that makes up black America chooses to remain in a separate but unequal state of mind then the critics that maintain Barack Obama set back race relations over the course of 8 years may have a point.
Civil discussion and rebuttals only.
