Let me be perfectly clear — I can’t stand football and I couldn’t care less about the NFL. However, I am terribly afraid I am going to have to start watching NFL games.
Since when is kneeling considered a sign of disrespect? Kneeling during our national anthem is the right and privilege of those players who are seeking a way to express their dismay and concern at the treatment and condition of African-Americans in the U.S. today. I applaud their efforts and their courage. I’m just afraid that now I’m going to have to start watching those darn games.
