Don’t ‘Take a Knee’…’Take A Stand’
Canada Free Press ^ | 06/16/20 | Dr. Laurie Roth

No more 50-yard line, compromised apologies. Stand and worship. Stand and pray. Stand and make a real difference and stand for your country

!We are in an unbelievable season where our nation’s cities are being attacked and held hostage by shipped-in, paid rioters and protesters. We are under siege with anarchists hiding behind George Floyd, a few bad cops and the endless sea of acting out leftists who hate Trump simply because he breathes air.

We are seeing some burning flags in protests and the infamous ‘take a knee’ movement is growing with taking a knee cropping up at public spaces, thanks to the NFL and other leagues at more sporting events. Just last week, Roger Goodell reversed his position about not supporting NFL players ‘taking a knee’ during the traditional singing of the Star-Spangled Banner. Nascar did the same, allowing drivers and teams to ‘take a knee’ during the national anthem.

Amen. Protest against the protest.

When sports reopen to spectators, this will be a flashpoint. I intend to stand for the national anthem. It will be interesting to see how many players stand, or if they all go down as a show of solidarity.

Will anybody in the NFL, NBA, MLB, soccer or hockey be as brave as Megan Rapinoe or Colin Kaepernick and buck the crowd? More than a few? Will they be defended by management? And how will the fans split?

I hope I'm not the only one standing, but if that's what happens, so be it.

Good luck with that. I intend not to attend said events or even watch on TV. I’m done.

Taking a stand means standing alone for the most part. Its like showing up to a war and realizing there is no one behind you to fight. This needs to change. If we push back in numbers and force this will end. The parent has left the room to unruly children that parent needs to return and assert themselves
