Fleebow or kneeling to thank a God is not an act of protest. I don't care if a white or black player points tot the sky to thank a fictional god.
The kneeling DURING the Anthem isn't a stunt or a score celebration, nor a nod to God. It has a completely different intent.
If you think what players do in thanking God or doing the Icky Shuffle is the same as kneeling during the anthem, then sorry, no polite way to put it, BUT YOU ARE DEAD WRONG.
The players protesting during the anthem are NOT doing it for the money. If you think that, sorry, that is just simply patently absurd.
What the players are doing is NOTHING NEW. It is needed, and the very same intent as what was done by MLB players and Olympic athletes during the 60s and 70s.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I am saying it is stupid and flat out wrong to confuse nods to god after a score, or end zone celebrations for that matter, as to being the same as kneeling during the Anthem. TWO completely different intents.
