Trump supporters have chosen to latch onto what has to be the most gentle and dignified form of protest one can possibly do. And the NFL has shown its true colors (no pun intended) by catering to bigots. I've never understood the reasoning of playing the national anthem at the start of any sporting events, or the underlying patriotism of rooting for a player or team. Nobody sings before I swim laps at the gym. For that matter, nobody sings before doctors save lives. Decades ago somebody made the arbitrary decision to sing at games, and now people take offense when somebody chooses that moment to protest. The media made it a story and the bigots made it a bigger story. And now a guy is out of a job because he took a knee. That's just unAmerican. > > Not sent from an iPhone. > On Sep 12, 2017, at 10:34 PM, "Kevin M." <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I'd never heard of her until the Twitter exchange. >> >> Trump is a racist who has enabled white supremacy.
