First, by now the NFLs #TakeAKnee controversy is probably already growing long in the tooth and so I apologize if Im belaboring it. What is below is fairly important, though, as its a hell of a good response to the Michael Bennetts, Kenny Vaccaros and Marshawn Lynches of the world.
And second, another hell of a good response was given by Heather Mac Donald at City Journal on Monday. Mac Donald looked through the FBIs recently-released crime statistics and found scant evidence to support the underlying cause for #TakeAKnee. As in
Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer. Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers committed vastly and disproportionately by black males. Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks numbered only 243.
So you have a protest based more or less on a myth, and the protest itself is obnoxious, stupid, and completely counterproductive.

#Fake-a-Knee
Hard Data, Hollow Protests (Heather Mac Donald)
This is really good from the article...
One reason why is that half the country agrees with most, if not all, of what our mystery source posted and the internet is busy making famous. To wit
When my president lied to me and claimed four of my comrades were murdered because of a video insulting Muslims I didnt take a knee.
When my president shipped pallets of cash to my sworn enemy I didnt take a knee.
When my president failed to identify Muslims as terrorists and Islam as an enemy of the state I didnt take a knee.
When my president claimed that a man who tried to kill another man who lawfully defended himself could be his son I didnt take a knee.
When my president defended a thug who bum-rushed law enforcement I didnt take a knee.
When my president ordered businesses to spend unnecessary funds to appease a minority of people who need mental intervention far more than they need their own toilet I didnt take a knee.
When my president ordered that words one nation under God be removed from the pledge of allegiance I didnt take a knee.
When my president lied to me and said I could keep my doctors and my premiums would go down I didnt take a knee.
When my president spent my tax dollars in foreign lands to interfere in their elections I didnt take a knee.
While my president sat by passively and enabled ISIS to emerge as a stronger force dedicated to spreading Islamic ideals by committing murder, rape and torture I didnt take a knee.
When my president allowed dictators and murderers to violate his red lines and continue to murder women and children with chemical gas I didnt take a knee.
When my president chastised law enforcement for their actions but ignored the violence in our streets I didnt take a knee.
When my president identified the weather as the greatest threat to Americas safety while Muslims worldwide are murdering innocent people I didnt take a knee.
While my presidents insistence that pacifism and reform in numerous areas of the globe would bring peace but instead led to the strengthening of those that seek to destroy us I didnt take a knee.
When the election of my president broke barriers never thought possible in America but ended up being the high point of his eight years in office I didnt take a knee.
In all that time I never disrespected our Country, our Armed Forces and Veterans, or our Nation.
I remained vigilant.
And I got a new president.
I would only add to this none of us took a knee when the president deployed the combined power of the intelligence community to spy on an opposition partys candidate and, finding no incriminating opposition research therefrom, wove together a few disparate strands of data, many of them false, into a narrative of foreign influence hacking an election to discredit the candidate.
In retrospect, maybe we should have taken that knee. Isnt it what all the cool kids do?
That is a great point that needs to hammered back at the NFL, the police are much more likely to be killed by a black male then that same black male is to be killed by a cop.
There’s no coherent explanation of the “take a knee” purpose.
There’s no coherent explanation of why kneeling is protest (classic sign of submission).
At this point, it’s just a fad so protest-minded people can protest...something.
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.”
Kneeling is submission.
And yet all the other useful idiots are "linking arms in solidarity" of that incoherent purpose. Disgusting pukes.

The players don't know what the linked arm thing is all about but they know it makes them appear sympathetic to downtrodden Black millionaire football players.
The problem here is not connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the Bully Pulpit began creating victims out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .
Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continung political discourse which has been expanded to include white guilt will continue.
When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obamas it was through his use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those inspired at least 10* deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in hoods controlled by members cf black ganags. One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma.*(I think the figure is more like 20 racially inspired murders)
Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasnt he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murdered in cold blood.
THESE TALKING POINTS SHOULD BE BROUGHT OUT WHEN THE NFL ACTION GETS DISCUSSED BUT AREN’T BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA’S INVOLVEMENT ...
Bump
The NFL hates white people. So I won’t be participating in anything having to do with the NFL anymore.
It’s like getting dumped after your girlfriend cheated on you. That whore is not allowed back in this house.
But loves their money.
Bttt
Remember when Tim Tebow would kneel to pray, and it was called “Tebowing”? Maybe the act of “taking a knee” should be called “Kaepernicking” in honor of it originator. The “locking of arms” should just be called “gay”.
A conservative quarterback will now have to fall on his face instead of taking a knee to run out the clock!
And he was criticized and castigated for it, told to keep his "religion" to himself. Now we can only openly display the leftist religion of BLM on the field. NOPE.
