Why Notre Dame students knelt during the national anthem

Durrell Jackson has been protesting racial inequality at Notre Dame football games for two years.

The junior started right after Colin Kaepernick began his protest of police brutality in 2016. He remembers the reactions of other fans when he first sat during the national anthem. “I got this look from the people standing up next to me, like ‘What are you doing?!’ ” Jackson said by phone Monday. “I gave them a look, ‘Yeah, I’m doing it.’ ”

This past Saturday, at the last Notre Dame home game of the season, Jackson had plenty of company.

These cheap virtue signalers were not kneeling before the Eucharist but kneeling before Kaepernick. Just another reason to hate Notre Dame.

The students knelt because they did not receive a smidgeon of a real education at what used to be Catholic School.

Was it not there that the faculty hid any religious icons when Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota baby visited?

I was looking forward to a great football Saturday over the past weekend, but lost interest after about 30 minutes into the first game.

I chalk it up to my ban on the NFL for the last 2 years. My ban on NFL football seems to have diminished my love of the game even though my home team (UGA) is having a good season.

As an aside, a few years ago, I couldn't wait for the weekend during season.

I don’t watch college or NFL football, and haven’t for three years. Don’t miss it a bit.

Likely most of these virtue signalers are students at ND themselves. Notice they’re not protesting the good fortune they have at getting attend such a prestigious private university.

""These cheap virtue signalers -----"

The problem is that these "virtue signaling" college students become our future business, education, and political leaders. The 20th century is dead.

Spoiled little pukes at ND ..... protesting racial inequality..... bet that it costs upward of $60K per annum to attend.... so tired of this posing.... Hope ND loses out. As it is they are over ranked and either Alabama or Clemson would make mince meat out of them. This from an Irish Catholic.... the days of Ara Parseghian and Lou Holtz are long gone.

OK, here’s what to do about “racial inequality.” All the guilty students each pick a Non-White student. Ask each how much money he/she has. The one with more money gives of his own money to the other to make up the difference.

Not just one time. Once a week. Ending when one student leaves the college.

What happens soon: the “poor” student pi$$es away the money you give him and comes to you next week asking for more. The “poor” student realizes he doesn’t have to work for his money. You keep working because of your commitment. Soon you get disgusted and the “poor” one comes to hate you.

No one ever dares say that the “poor” student is no longer poor, and that the “rich” student is no longer rich. The labels remain.

Exactly the democrats’ plan for this country.

These are the cowards that would wear your uniform, stand in the formation behind you, and stab you squarely between the shoulder blades the moment advantage appears to shift toward the enemy. Remember them when civil war erupts and show them no quarter until the final shot is heard.

Notre Dame has been a cursed institution ever since it invited the vile pro abortionist Obama to give its commencement address and conferred on him an honorary degree. It will need more than an exorcism after the likes of Jenkins and Pope Francis leave this planet.
