(from yesterday) ESPN: JONATHAN ISAAC EXPLAINS DECISION TO STAND DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM (nearing 400,000 views!)
The devil is working overtime in 2020.
When can we see story headlines like: “NBA Player that KNELLED for Anthem gets wheeled off court after Leg Injury”
Just wondering?
God bless him. Hope He brings him right back.
"I believe that Black Lives Matter. A lot went into my decision, and part of it is, I thought that kneeling or wearing the Black Lives Matter t-shirt doesn't go hand-in-hand with supporting Black lives. So I felt like, just me personally, what is that I believe is taking on a stance that, I do believe that Black lives matter, but I just felt like it was a decision that I had to make, and I didn't feel like putting that shirt on and kneeling went hand in hand with supporting Black lives. I believe that for myself, my life has been supported by gospel, Jesus Christ, and everyone is made in the image of God and that we all forge through God's glory.
Each and every one of us do things that we shouldn't do and say things that we shouldn't say. We hate and dislike things that we shouldn't hate and dislike, and sometimes it gets to a point where we point fingers, whose evil is worse, and sometimes it comes down to whose evil is most visible. So I felt like I wanted to take a stand on, we all make mistakes, but I think that the gospel of Jesus Christ is that there's grace for us, and that Jesus came and died for our sins and that if we all come to an understanding of that and that God wants to have a relationship with us, that we can get kept all of the things in our world that our messed up, jacked up.
I think when you look around, racism isn't the only thing that plagues our society, that plagues our nation, that plagues our world, and I think coming together on that message that we want to get past not only racism but everything that plagues as us as a society, I feel like the answer to that is gospel."

Prayers up!
Prayers for this brave man.
Did somebody do something dirty to him?
His knee gave out without much stress put on it. Not a good sign. Get well soon!
I’m surprised they even passed him the ball. Also, he is not only standing, but also not wearing the shirt.
That took courage.
I’m surprised the BLM folks let the “ambulance” through. They usually don’t do that.
Hate when that happens- to a good guy.
Liberal thugs will murder him if they can... they did it to Bernell Trammell.
