pro-Confederacy groups organized a march onto the campus in Oxford, Mississippi

What's the problem?

So, these mensas are kneeling in protest against the USA (which defeated the CSA in a war) because someone acknowledged the CSA (the defeated foe that no longer exists?).

These people are in college?

“Kermit the coach” rails about “hate groups” on campus. The only “hate group” I see are his ungrateful negro players who dishonor America.

The problem everywhere on campus is that any un-approved view point will be labelled ‘hate’, i.e., hate group, hate speech, hate (whatever)…

And the student athletes (their coach included) want to use their spotlight to virtue signal how pure they are, by dissing on the anthem.

Eh whatever the confederacy rally was, someone should make it clear to these ignoramuses and their indoctrinatiors that the confederacy is not represented by the flag nor the anthem

My ring tone is a robust national anthem. In some settings I let it play all the way through

“So, these mensas are kneeling in protest against the USA (which defeated the CSA in a war) because someone acknowledged the CSA (the defeated foe that no longer exists?).”

I doubt these stars know the difference between the USA and CSA.

If they know the difference, someone would have had to told them. Who would have done that and where? In public schools?

That's why I conclude they don't know the difference.

Confederacy rally = silly, but legal.

Kneeling = silly, but legal.

IMHO.

Protesting the Confederacy by disrespecting the American flag:

A lot of men died to free the slaves and these kneelers say to heck with them.

I agree and IMO the confederates 'won' this skirmish by triggering the anti-Americans.

If they could see the fruits of their efforts today I wonder what they would think?

So they kneeled in protest of these groups????

I kneel to no man. If they are protesting these groups, go STAND in front of those groups. That will show some real B***s. Not kneeling in a place far removed and unseen by the protesters. (But the camera videos are real good for virtue signaling.

They are in basketball school. People around them are in college.

You do what you do to please God not some sorry ass crybaby. Those who fought honorably on both sides in that war are today with Jesus in heaven.

What a great example of “thinking outside the box”! There are exceptions, of course, but unfortunately it seems largely true.
