Monday on ABC’s “The View,” former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) compared athletes kneeling during the national anthem in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement to congregants kneeling at religious services.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “We were talking earlier in the show about athletes taking a knee, and someone told me you had a change of heart on this. What did they mean?

Kneeling is akin to being a cuck.
He’s more correct than he realizes.
Ramits religion is socialism, the complete and utter control of the individual by the state, a follwer of the religion of Saul Alinsky. Thats why Ramit would't know what a religious service truly is.
Ramit , a consort of Nancifer Pelucifer, prays only to the gods of mammon and materialism. He rams her manually.
Crawl back into your hole Ramit! Kneel while you are at it.
Different meaning. Like when Satan saw me on my knees and thought he had won until I said .... “Amen”.
Kneeling at a religious service is kneeling before God. No American kneels accept before God.
I’ll take their kneeling the way they intend their expression to be taken, which is the polar opposite of a sign of respect.
Next, this jackass will tell us that the looters and rioters are like Jesus clearing the temple.
why were they all holding a rope? It seems like making every person hold the same rope is a bad idea, if you are trying to minimize the chance of spreading a virus (I mean, the rope can’t really spread the virus). It just looks hilarious. Is it how they keep physical distance, because i would think a professional baseball player could gauge 6 feet without needing a measurement.
Oh really Rahm? People no longer get church services you jackass.
Nice try Rahm, but nobody cares about your BS.
We aren’t watching.
I wonder if he would feel that way if white players knelt during the “Black National Anthem” or the CCCP National Anthem.
“Rahm Emanuel: Athletes Kneeling During National Anthem Akin to Kneeling at ‘Religious Services’”
So are they kneeling to their new Chinese bosses or their new massas?
“There is only one reason for kneeling during the national anthem and that is is to show disrespect, just as standing with hand over heart is to show respect.”
Here’s an idea, how about having the stadium announcer say “Out of respect for the founding of The United States of America, will everybody please kneel for our National Anthem” and show the picture of George Washington kneeling and praying at Valley Forge on the jumbotron. I dare say BLM & Dem heads would explode. It would be fun to watch all the pampered entertainers looking at each other wondering what to do now.
Confirming that BLM is a religion, huh EmanuelIdiot?
I would argue more like a cult, but hey......
Klinton’ s whipping boy doesn’t know when to shut up!
Kneeling for BLM is the same thing as kneeling and worshiping Ba’al.
Kneeling always has and always will be a sign of submission. We kneel to the creator in respect and fear of his mighty power. Athletes kneel because they submit to the fact that they all are stupid and don’t want fans watching them! Done deal.
OK then make it a religious service. Every athlete may worship the deity of their choice. Trump needs to sign an executive order prohibiting the national anthem from being played at ANY event. That seems like a reasonable compromise. It has been abused and politicized, marginalized and trivialized.
I was at the gym yesterday, and glanced at the TV and saw a professional lacrosse match (didn’t even know there was pro lacrosse), and of course every single player was kneeling at the beginning, seemed so pro forma. Don’t fly the flag or play the national anthem, period, just like you don’t hold up a cross and piss on it.
If Christianity (or Judaism or Islam or whatever) is not your religion, fine. Then don’t have a ceremony displaying the symbol of such religion. If respect for America is not part of your world view, fine. Enough of this bs.
Then they are kneeling in submission like slaves.
