how does everyone feel about the whole kneeling issue?
are they doing it to bring attention to a bad situation? are they being babies? do they know what they are doing?

it's not the appropriate venue to voice your political concerns.
then again, I don't think the National Anthem should be played at an entertainment event. yeah, yeah, I know, it's something done for decades.
so it's played at sporting events - what's next. before a movie in a theater? how about before the school play, maybe before prom?
how about using it for important governmental functions instead.
of course the owners would be committing suicide by just not playing it any more - they would be accused of being cowards and unpatriotic

wait, are you telling me that is his only venue?
how about they exercise their free speech? get booked on talk shows, how about spending their money for public service announcements, or helping pay the legal expenses of the families that are suing the police departments.
and I take exception to your phrase "blacks being killed by white police officers"
I think that we should be incensed and demand accountability for any shooting or other use of force (lethal or not) that has been deemed excessive - re-freaking-gardless of the race/sex of the cop or the person that is shot/injured.
I won't argue that blacks are disproportionally shot by white officers
BUT to ONLY look them allows non-whites a free pass.
So EVERY use of force needs to be looked at - the bad seeds that need to go, need to go.

@Newandimproved not many football players go on talk shows. it is always the same few and they always stay on the sidelines. and this is a non-verbal and non-violent form. i like it
