Baseball player kneels during anthem

[The God Poster]

Are you fakkits really trying to downplay this?

Kneeling to fight inequality of any kind isn't muddling Kaep's message it all. Trump is galvanizing more people to speak out. The message involves police shooting injustices

I think that's the point you're missing... anytime we bring an issue up it either gets dismissed or grouped with "others.

People always end up latching their problems on to ours. Shyts comical at this point. You'll see tho when the reason why Kaep did it is no longer spoken about in favor of "others

If only the NFL originally released a statement like this, this entire 'kneeling' narrative would be different.

Instead they allowed a player to be blackballed for a simple kneeling gesture which turned to this a year later lol

Goodell should be fired for a lot of reasons, but none more than this.

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

And LMAO at the e-militants mad because other players kneeling for whatever reason they want.

Nikka ain't no ownership in the reasons for a kneel.

If you cry about reasons people are kneeling, you just proving to be an attention whore. Worrying about optics of the sitiation more than the true issue at hand. SMFH

The NFL has a history that shows they are not fans of freedom of expression.

Does not change the fact that Kaep was the originator of this.

Kaep needs to speak up more to control the narrative.

Why? He spoke last year. There is nothing left to say. He can't control the narrative.

I should have said steer.

He can steer it back to the right directions. As the originator. He just needs to give one of those CBS 60 minute in depth interview.

He is allowing this blowhard clown to make it into an anti trump narrative.
Its becoming they are kneeling because of that clown in the white house and not for the killing of unarmed black man by the police.

Kaep makes IG post highlighting new instances of police brutality. He still reinforces his message when prompted.

 

[Perfectson]

The co-opting begins.
Kneeling will be framed as showing up Trump, instead of the reason Kaep did it, bringing awareness to unarmed shooting of black americans by the police.
Keep your eyes open folks, if they can't control the speaker, Kaep, they'll change the narrative.

Lmfao

I think it's clear what kneeling is for and they already tried to make this about disrespecting the flag. Whether it's about freedom of speech or protesting the deaths of black men at hand of police this narrative has two sides...so don't let your tunnel vision get in the way of progress

Powerful.


Trump and his team are sinisterly brilliant.

I kind of expect Kaep to write an open letter to athletes, expressing his gratitude for all the recent support for his kneeling movement, then bring it back to why he started kneeling, which was the killing of unarmed black folk.

this.

Yes. When prompted. But he does not need to speak out voluntarily. People want him to make some kind of official statement and I don't get it. Talking heads now asking "does he still want to play?" Like taking a stand means he no longer wants to play football. Like he voluntarily sat out the season.

So first they criticize him, then they try to blackball him, then when they realize his message can't be silenced they try to attack his play and lastly question whether he wants to play.


They've tried to use every tactic they could but now it's too big to blow over.

NFL will try to change their stance cuz they don't want to be on the wrong side of history. Kaep will be immortalized. Jerry gonna look real bad when all is said and done.

think he might need to eventually... watching GMA right now and they are already trying to shift it.

They will spin it even if he spoke. They did it when he first spoke on it. This is what they do.

It'd be tough to spin a written messgae that stays on code. Usually, the old guard, left-leaning print media outlets will publish such letters word for word. they'd also be HAPPY to make him a guest columnist.
