Former 'American Idol' contestant kneels after singing national anthem at NFL game © Twitter Singer Jessica Sanchez, a former runner-up on the 11th season of "American Idol," took a knee after she finished singing the national anthem at an Oakland Raiders game on Sunday, the Associated Press reported.
"I'm 100 percent for the message, as far as what the message has been behind everybody kneeling," Sanchez said, according to the AP.
"I still show my respect to the veterans, but I do disagree with what's going on in the office," she continued, referring to President Trump's recent rhetoric on the issue.
Trump ignited a firestorm over the issue last month, when he said at a campaign rally that the NFL should fire players who kneel during the anthem.
Many in the NFL community responded to the president's comments by subsequently kneeling or locking arms during the anthem at various games, though the number of protests has since dwindled.
NFL players, most notably free agent Colin Kaepaernick, have kneeled during the anthem in order to protest social and racial injustice in the U.S.
Sanchez is not the first national anthem singer to kneel at a game.
Singer Rico Lavelle took a knee after singing the national anthem last month at Detroit Lions game, while singer Megan Lindsey her guitar player got down on one knee after performing the national anthem at a Seattle Seahawks game.
Not one clue what she is talking about. Just another attention whore. Tune out, turn off and ignore.
Another jackass.
Now her permanent legacy
“ took a knee”
#28l. Was she a vampire in “Twilight”? Just asking.
Sorry. Wrong vampire. You know they all look alike. Long fangs, no smiles, and always on their knees having a drink.
Wouldn’t mind her taking two knees.
Just a joke...
Are you sure? 8>)
I mean really, what would you do without your knees? 8>)
LOL
The NFL decision has given conservatives a rare opportunity to take a whack at Black Lives Matter and the manipulations of Obama’s collusion with the media.
But the so called pundits are blowing it off. In effect diverting the media’s complitity which allowed this racial division diversion created by Obama ro take place.
Obama is still the untouchable and fellow radicals are just laughing at the NFL debacle and praising his political genius because pundits are letting the media divert that direction to “cum bye ja” and a dozen other directions.
Because pundits should be citing the racial division created by Obama and the subsequent racial incidents asking those bended knee players if they support this ?.
The problem here is refusing to connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .
Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continuing political discourse which has been expanded to include “white guilt” will continue.
When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those comments inspired at least 10* deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags.
One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma.*(At the time the media avoided any reference made to “For Trayvon” reason given in those murders by the culprits mainly gang members. Of the I think the figure (10)is more like 20 racially inspired murders)
Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murdered in cold blood.
IF THIS WAS BROUGHT OUT NFL GENUFLECTIONS DISAPPEAR
“I’m 100 percent for the message, as far as what the message has been behind everybody kneeling,”
That message is to kill police officers.
How cliche.
If I was an NFL owner I’d make every anthem singer sign a document saying that they will not pull any political riff-raff before or after the anthem. Doing it at those periods is also disrespectful grandstanding.
