What was the purpose of the Cowboys taking a knee? It seems it was done to show solidarity with those that are taking a knee during the National Anthem...so even if the Cowboys did it before the anthem- it still seems like a slap in the face to America. So what is the difference between taking a knee during the National Anthem and taking a knee before to show you are supporting those that do so?

Liberals are running around posting on social media that people are just too stupid to understand why these athletes are doing this. The funny thing is I have heard several reasons.

Most seem to say it is because of “racial injustice” protesting blacks killed by police, but some say it is because the National Anthem itself mentions slavery and Francis Scott Key owned slaves? Others claim to be doing it because President Trump said those taking a knee during the National Anthem should be fired. A new reason I heard today is a black woman said our flag never did one thing for black people and their freedom.

I do not care why they are doing it, what they are doing is disrespecting our country, our flag, our anthem. I cannot and will not ever support that.

there is NO racial injustice...none...

blacks get free everything...they get a pass on all their animalistic behavior, and then some....

NOBODY BUT NOBODY EVER CAME TO ME AND GAVE ME A FREE RIDE SCHOLARSHIP TO PLAY SPORTS IN COLLEGE AND NOBODY FROM THE NBA OR NFL WILL HIRE ME...

I can't help it if so many of them are breeding DOWN, not up...not increasing intelligence but actually decreasing it...

and I can't help it if so many choose rape,assualt and murder as a way of life....throw in the drugs and its a party for sure....
