What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[John V]

Don't know, don't care. The NFL has a variety of policies regarding uniform and attire. The attire of the players on the field (including the presence or absence of stickers) is by a wide margin the least important thing in this discussion.

I disagree. Statements on the field regarding police IS the topic of discussion. A statement supporting police was banned. A statement against police is allowed.

Because no one gives a shit that you don't like the protest.

Actually you all seem to care quite a bit.

Many of us would look at the rate of black men being killed (2.5x as likely based on the number of black people killed relative to the total population of black people in the US), and agree that it is overwhelming. What would be an "overwhelming" rate to you? How high does that need to be for you to care?

It's certainly not as overwhelming as the 95% rate for men. Why isn't that being protested? We both know the answer. Men are more dangerous to society then women, so it's understandable that men are shot by police at a higher rate. Similarly, statistics clearly show that blacks are more dangerous than whites. But, it's somehow unacceptable to make the exact same conclusion with black v. white as we do with men v. women.
