Celebrities and sports stars took to social media over the weekend to urge athletes from around the sporting world to “take a knee” during the National Anthem, after President Donald Trump said Friday that any players who protest in that manner should be fired by their team’s owners.
Celebrities including Jeffrey Wright, John Legend, Evan Rachel Wood, Sarah Silverman, Kumail Nanjiani, Daniel Tosh, and Ed Asner, and sports stars including NBA player Chris Paul and NFL cornerback Richard Sherman all took to their Twitter accounts to weigh in on the NFL protests.
At a rally in Alabama Friday, Trump said NFL team owners should fire those who disrespect the country by kneeling during the National Anthem, a form of protest popularized by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick at the start of the 2016 NFL season.
The president followed up his Friday comments with several posts to his Twitter account early Sunday: “If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast,” he wrote.
But several stars took Trump on directly over the weekend, including HBO’s Westworld star Wright, who tweeted: “Kneel so hard Sunday the earth shakes.”

Red Asner
John Legend II (not to be confused with the original Johnny Legend)
Two words: Rosie O’Donnell. She could make the earth shake all by herself.
The only one I’ve ever heard of is Asner. He’s been a hard leftist forever. And he’s decades past his prime. I won’t give most of Hollywood or the NFL one thin dime now. They can GTH!
“...overwhelming reply will be STANDING...”
It is delightfully easy to rise above folks who imagine that digging will prevent their sinking.
Ed Asner, who hasn’t done anything in 30 years. And a bunch of people I’ve never heard of. While he is on his knees, I’ve got something he can kiss...
quote-Yeah, suggest they kneel in a church and see what happens.
raybbr, along the premise of ‘Every knee shall bow and tongue shall confess’..
These protests are quite interesting. A blond haired leader (Trump) is essentially causing people to voluntarily ‘bow’/kneel at the sound of a song/music.
Just like in Daniel.
Any kneeling is prophetic of submission to the King of Kings, as scripture notes, evey knee shall bow.
The folks in the NFL and Hollywood may not get that- but they are certainly propheysing a time when every knee will bow and tongue will confess the King of Kings, to the glory of the Father.
Jeffrey Wright, John Legend, Evan Rachel Wood, Sarah Silverman, Kumail Nanjiani, Daniel Tosh, and Ed Asner,
As someone else pointed out they’ve made this about Trump. This crap has been going on for awhile and in our faces. These morons made it about Trump but it’s bigger than that and they’re too dumb to see it.
Have the RATS in the Capitol taken a knee yet?
I expect that any day.
“Ticketholders: During the NFL games if you aren’t disgusted enough not to go, sing the national anthem during pauses in the game.”
Better yet WALK OUT!
Pretty insensitive of the celebtard crowd considering what happened in Mexico.
Hollywood doesn’t care about Hispanics.
Right Wing Spin, what they really mean is they are kneeling so hard in Church Praying for better ratings
That sums it up for me, too.
Any kneeling is prophetic of submission to the King of Kings
as it was in the case of Tom Tebow. The wrong reason according to the Leftards, but Tebow knows the Author of his Salvation.
What are they taking a knee in support of?
-
It seems that they’re protesting racism - you know, a system where dumb ghetto blacks can’t become multi-millionaires by running around jumping on top of each other for a little ball.
Oh... wait...
Good to see these America haters self identify. They are just proving what we already knew.
Boycott ESPN
Boycott ABC
Boycott SEC Network
Basically, all Disney properties.
Beautiful.
