The protest was made to shine light on a certain issue. Was never about the military or whatever bs a political leader made it about. Wasn’t about disrespecting the country nor flag. In fact the monetizing of Patriotism imo and most is more disrespectful then taking a kneeI...kaep who started this way back in 2016 was very clear on why he originally sat then knelt during the anthem..never before was taking a knee considered disrespectful. Soldiers kneel for their fallen comrades. Soldiers kneel when presenting the flag to families.
I’ll revisit the bottom after November.
It's not about the military and therefore comparing athletes to soldiers kneeling is absurd. While kneeling was never described as disrespectful as a matter of fact, the country has been standing for the anthem since the beginning. **** even in school we 'rose' for the national anthem. You really think somebody deciding it would be cool to do the exact opposite would not be considered an act of disrespect?
Besides, Kaep's police brutality reason doesn't even have a factual basis behind it.
