First, by now the NFL’s #TakeAKnee controversy is probably already growing long in the tooth and so I apologize if I’m belaboring it. What is below is fairly important, though, as it’s 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 FBI’s 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.

Stand by our Flag , Anthem , Country and President .
Boycott NFL football . send them a message they won’t forget .
I heard on my local talk show this morning that they are trying to say Russia (and I’m not kidding) is trolling Twitter with “#boycottNFL” and “#takeaknee” to cause disruption. Because it couldn’t possibly be actual Americans tired of the crap.
IMHO every sports event, every community event should start with the singing of the National Anthem, not by some celebrity, but by all present - all spectators. Project the words on a screen for those who where never taught the words in school. Turn up sound.
With the entire FB stadium reverberating with the Anthem even the fiercest BLM supporter will melt - maybe!

Did he ever get fined for that? I can’t see it if he did.
Well I say, “If they take a knee, just give’em the FINGER!!”
And, bravo NRA, herein: https://youtu.be/z3j1ZKz7PWQ
About 93% are black...no wonder they don’t like the cops.
And that's what they do.
I don’t think this news is getting old at all. I think our society is well on the way of banning the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance in all public venues including classrooms.
