Kneeling has NEVER been an act of defiance, or 'taking a stand'.

Kneeling has ALWAYS been an act of submission.

[Spirit of Liberty]

I haven’t figured how they had fans. Other sports aren’t allowing them-heck, MLB is using cardboard cutouts in the stands! If the other sports had live fans in their stands, you’d be hearing boos there too.

[Sheapdog]

In these people’s world now one doesn’t deserve to be a fan or pay to show up and support the team unless they are fellow travelling virtue signalers. F-em all.

LOL! This guy is so clueless, it's all about him. Just bite the hand that feeds you, Mr. Cannon.

Correct.

He does not equate fans with his salary, what a maroon.

He's way too smart for us Doc, let's get outta here.

Who supports anti-American sports? Answer: anti-American losers. I hope their crappy league goes belly-up.

[oldenuff35]

They may truly believe that America is to be hated but I do not. I think those who believe that way should hate it from afar.

I believe in our laws, the rule of law and justice under and within those laws.

The BLM thugs and ANTIFA TERRORISTS are far on the wrong side of our laws and our constitution.

It is time for them to go down and after their few months of showing their asses, there are over 300 open FBI Federal Warrants for terrorist activities. These warrants are currently being pursued and served.

Round them up and put them in federal prisons where they will do each and ever day of their time with no early release for good behavior.

They are finding out that they really did not win this one.

FC Dallas’ Reggie Cannon

Another Marxist living the lie. Must suck to be him.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I would not have been there, men in shorts running around is boring.

[Songcraft]

Whenever these slimes take a knee, disrespecting our flag, our National Anthem, and the huge sacrifices made by so many for this Country, which those things represent, may these smelly slimes also take a foot, right in their slimy old soccer balls.

[hirn_man]

C’mon Man. Don’t be so harsh.

Soccer builds foot/eye coordination.

A skill that has never been needed by anyone anytime outside of soccer.

[madison10]

The kneeling was disgusting.

[bk1000]

Get used to it. People are tired of your crap. You kneel, we boo. Your “protest” is inappropriate.

[SaxxonWoods]

Well, maybe you’ll like it better when they stop coming to game.

[edwinland]

LET’S BE CLEAR. The fans were NOT booing out of disrespect. They were booing for very subtle reasons which you need to understand.

[SaxxonWoods]

“I think I would have booed and then left the event.”

Yeah, I don’t get that part either. I couldn’t boo and then sit there and cheer them playing. That makes a mockery of me being repelled by their behavior.

Walk away until they stop the disrespect.

[Sequoyah101]

I hope I live to see “professional athletes” wonder where the money went.

Please make at least one of my dreams come true before I die.

[Deplorable American1776]

Soccer: Football for girly men!! 😋

[Ohioan]

Yes, and people--most people--do not attend sporting events to put up with angry players' seeking to force insulting arguments on those spending money to be entertained. The kneelers, not the angry fans, are out of line.

[hanamizu]

“You got fans booing you for people taking a stand for what they believe in.”

But Reggie, they weren’t booing people for taking a stand, it was for taking a knee. Don’t want fans booing, stand for the anthem.
