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.

Rahm is enjoying how Democrats aren’t letting this crisis go to waste.

Yeah, the kneeling thing is just too soft...

The athletes should piss on the flag, burn it, defecate on the field.

That will most definitely help get their message across to the forever ignorant whities going to their games.

Rahm is correct—it is Satan worship.

“Not even Rahm is that stupid.” You better reevaluate that! Kneeling during the National Anthem is a sign of respect and burning an American flag is a sign of patriotism. Has a hookah smoking caterpillar given you the call?

So... BLM is a religion now?

Interesting.

Then that means that they must abide by "church rules".

So where are the police arresting them for congregating?

I don’t think so. Does he really think we’re that stupid? So are they protesting GOD?

They are.

Well.... they are contacting business owners and telling them it would be a shame if something happened to their business. But that it could happen unless they pony up.

So close enough.
