Ok. You win. Lawlessness is for the POC. We need to do it. Let's experiment now. Get rid of the cops now!

Sweet vindication for Colin Kaepernick. He's a hero. The Rosa Parks of this generation. Commissioner Roger Goodell forced to bend the knee.

Trump called the NFL players who knelt "sons of bitches". When is he going to apologize? Others have,

Is that too much to ask of, well, you know,.... a leader?

I am going to be interested in how all of the sports handle this. Till now, the announcer has said "Please stand to honor America in the singing of our National Anthem". What do they say now? Do they even play the anthem? It would be kind of stupid to say "Please Stand" and have all the players and most of the fans kneel or sit. And clearly they would not be "honoring America" but rather protesting injustice.

And since this is a running forum, what do they do at track and cross country meets?

One example

By all accounts regardless of police brutality, this Floyd fella was a nasty piece of work with a long list of horrible crimes. He should be no martyr.

good question. It's not your grandma's NFL anymore.

"regardless of police brutality"........dumbest argument ever.

After 9/11, did we look up the backgrounds of all the people that died to make sure that they were spotless before doing something about it?

If Nike was smart, they would get a Kaepernick ad out there pronto. They were smart to sign him and now would be the time to cash in on the investment.

It's too soon. I hate that I'm such a cynic but I bet their marketing department is on top of this, already cooking something up for when the dust settles. Such a pity COVID hasn't collapsed the entire capitalist system.

"If America wants peace it must be responsive in peacetime. You can’t demonize an athlete who peacefully takes a knee to protest against police brutality, labeling him a “son of a b*tch,” as President Trump did, and then pine for peaceful protests now."

That capitalist system has played no small part in why more Kenyans immigrate to the US than vice versa.

I suppose then that if you lived in the days of chattel slavery, your argument would be: If you don’t like slavery, don’t own a slave. If you want a slave, then own one.

Your comeback is off the mark , way off the mark. How is a woman, having an abortion of her own choice a problem for you...especially if you are not the father? During slavery most whites didn't own slaves in America, but yet and still they were racist as hell and did everything in their power to keep blacks beneath them and then for another 100 years after the Civil War.

A broken clock is right twice a day. An isolated event a couple of times a year does not an epidemic make and is not justification for the acts of violence against numerous innocent cops and businesses across the country that have ensued. We are talking about a couple of cops in a country of 330 million. The guilty party will be held responsible. It should not be lost on everyone that a black man is 6-7 times more likely to kill a white man than the other way around on a per capita basis.

You must have been under a rock for the last 400 years.

Name all the white police officers that have murdered thousands of unarmed blacks that have served time in prison. Its about 1%.

Tell me how many African-American police officers have murdered unarmed white people this year or any other year. And on video. And gotten away with it. I'll wait......... and show me the videos...year after year and the all the times before video

I still don't understand why conservatives got so triggered by Kap taking a knee. I for one prefered that to the riots we have right now, but maybe that's just me.

Let me explain: The national anthem at the beginning of the contest is to show support the those in the military that sacrificed so that we can be free. His protest was misdirected. He he wanted to kneel during introductions, or wear a BLM t-shirt, nobody would have minded. But by kneeling during the national anthem he was disrespecting those that scarified and bringing attention to himself.

Wrong....dead wrong. Playing the star spangled banner before a sporting contest in America between american teams is ridiculous and has zero to do with the game or the military. Newsflash....blacks have fought in every war this country has ever had. Do you even know who Crispus Attucks is?

Help! Kenyans are flooding the US. Build the wall, NOW! Dude, do you even know any Kenyans? Chances are you've never met one in your life.

Had two Kenyan teammates in college and one work associate at an old job. As if that were relevant. Yeah
