Cheerleaders who touched off anthem uproar at Kennesaw State regain chance to protest
Yahoo Sports ^ | Thu, Nov 9, 2017 | Eric Adelson

The “Kennesaw Five” – cheerleaders who were banished from the football field at Kennesaw State during the playing of the national anthem after kneeling during the song in late September – will be back in front of fans starting Saturday.

~SNIP~

As for the reasons behind the protest, cheerleader Shlondra Young told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “We kneel for equality. We kneel to highlight social injustice and to highlight police brutality and kneel in honor for those who unjustly lost their lives and for those who could not kneel for themselves. We kneel in a city where a Confederate culture still exists amongst some and issues like this are placed on the back burner.”

~SNIP~

Newton told Yahoo Sports he felt 40 to 45 percent of the campus agreed with the protest, including some faculty. “Professors at our school do not like our president right now,” he said.

There was even a wave of drama when a student in the school mascot uniform kneeled during a rally. “As a student, sure,” Ehrhart told the Marietta Daily Journal. “But with respect to utilizing the school’s mascot, that’s inappropriate.”

`SNIP~

“Everybody still loves Scrappy,” Newton said. “People didn’t agree when he took a knee, but at the end of the day, no one is saying ‘Boycott Scrappy.’ ”

Segregation isn’t a pc word but it gets a pass when some blacks say they want it. Truth is, they damned sure don’t want it. Deep down they know they don’t want it. Their would be the biggest losers.

This movement makes me sick. Mob mentality on parade. Ass for this:

“Professors at our school do not like our president right now,” he said.

I would like to see one shred of evidence that President Trump is racist.

It doesn't exist, because he is not a racist. Wanting to secure America's borders is not racist.

I think you might be off on that one. Seems like they don’t have the good sense to know when they are well off.

Too ignorant to be in college.

Pull their financial aid and let them fend for themselves in the real world.

Giving kids wierd names, is a way to ensure they can never leave “the community” and enter the white middle class.

If they asked if I would take segregation now, I am not sure but I am just sick of all the whining. I am sick of all the PC bs. I am sick of all the violence. I am sick of all the over-the-top immoral nonsense. I am sick of all the unwed mothers. I am sick of those demanding handouts. I am sick of all the crime. I am sick of lazy asses not taking advantage of educational opportunities. I am sick of not living in peace. I am sick of all the excuses.

That said, I still love them.

Got it!

Shlondra Young.

It’s the homemade name crowd.

That pretty much explains it all.

>>Despite electing a staunchly pro-American, this country is lost. I’m sorry, but I think it is too late for us now. My heart breaks at the notion.

I agree, but I stand to piss off the SJWs now.

A college scholarship is a terrible thing to waste on an ungrateful miscreant

When appropriate, these protesters should get on their knees and thank God they live in the USA.

Sadly, I think the concept of college has largely been destroyed. How many of us have been outraged in the past 10 years by the REQUIRED freshman indoctrination in almost all colleges and universities? I can’t image having every subject taught through the liberal lense.

Are most blacks always going to be just miserable people?

You got that right. Most black will never accept that they have to work at getting something.
