Go talk to an average person on the street and ask them what the kneeling during the national anthem protesters wanted. Initially, the story in the media was that it was support for BLM. Then, and this is a quote from a network broadcaster kneeling was "to protest inequality". No more clarification than that.
And, if you're protesting but it's not clear just what grievance you want redressed then you have failed.
The whole thing was ridiculous from every angle. Playing the "national anthem" before a sporting event is stupid anyway. I think it started in World War I to show that Kaiser how unified we were. 100 years later were still trying to impress the Hohenzollern family.
I’m not having a conversation with the average person on the street, I’m having one with you.
