They were kneeling in prayer, not protest, during which spoken prayer America was described as the greatest country on earth. But since that doesn’t fit the media’s selected story line it’s been hardly mentioned.
Could that be because it looked like sympathetic protest, as was no doubt intended.
But, hey, they prayed so all is forgiven.
People want to spit on the flag, that’s their right, but we don’t have to finance their livelihoods by watching or attending their games.
If they want to pray at any other time, that is great.
But when the National Anthem is played the should stand and show respect for their country.
The purpose of these protests is to denigrate America and all patriotic Americans. It is to show their hatred and contempt for the United States. That is all it is.
