The way the kneeling is coming across is the players are giving the finger to white Americans. It doesn’t matter if that wasn’t the intent, that’s the way it’s being received, and the players should have figured it out by now.
White Americans are responding on that basis.
I still do not expect to see empty stadiums or TV revenue to the NFL taken away.
They know that is exactly what they are doing and that is WHY they are doing it!

That was/is PRECISELY their intent!
