Kneeling Protest Planned Ahead Of Vikings-Saints Playoff Game

A “take a knee” rally protesting police violence is planned for Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium ahead of the Vikings playoff game against the New Orleans Saints.

The group Take A Knee Nation Twin Cities says the demonstration will be in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On Facebook, the group said that if he were alive today, the civil rights leader would be protesting police violence.

The Sunday demonstration is planned for 2:30 p.m. outside the downtown Minneapolis stadium. It’s slated to go for about an hour, up until the game starts at 3:40 p.m.

Over the course of the NFL season, there’s been other pre-game demonstrations at U.S.Bank Stadium where dozens knelt against police violence, specifically in regards to the deaths of Jamar Clark, Philando Castile and Justine Damond.

The kneeling protest was first popularized by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who took a knee during the national anthem to highlight concerns over police shootings and racism in the U.S.

Take A Knee Nation Twin Cities says that over the Super Bowl weekend the group plans to host a conference on race and police violence in Minneapolis.

Should be a good time.

It's supposed to be colder than a Mother-in-law's kiss on Sunday.

Have not watched a MFL game since and don't plan to for the playoffs.

I just hope that someday these vermin need to call 911 and BLM answers.

Their kneeling will bring their bodies lower to the ground where the nfl tv ratings are.

The audience in that section should throw down six gallons of Sour Milk right on top of the Kneelers’ nappy heads.

Read the article. These aren’t ticket holders.

This will happen outside the stadium. In the cold.

It’s supposed to be above 0 at game time, so that’s not too bad.

“This will happen outside the stadium. In the cold.”

Since Colonoscopy decided to use his “platform” and dropped his knee during the anthem that represents the thousands of men and women that died for his right to do this, maybe he should read a little history concerning “the cold.”

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/cold-still-haunts-battle-of-the-bulge-veteran-96/

Those female gentalias can’t take a little cold for their “platform?” They wouldn’t know what cold is.

Will they need a mihrab to help them kneel in the right direction?
Don’t kid yourself...this is a contrived rejection.
