This is my final say on this matter. Didn't the whole kneeling during the Anthem start because of the police who use excessive force or abuse their power? That's what this whole thing is about right, now it's a good cause because the bad cops who do abuse their power, hide behind their badge and uniform as an excuse for excessive force need to be dealt with. My question is, what exactly does kneeling during the anthem do to take steps toward a solution to ending this once and for all? The players are all knee, no action because it's like your kneeling but that isn't showing me that you want to help find a solution.
If these players want to help end this and find a solution, instead of kneeling during the Anthem go talk to the Police Commissioner, Chief, etc in their respective cities and states and ask them why they don't punish the bad cops, or as Trump said "Fire Their Asses". When you hear about police using excessive force or abusing their power, the very next thing is them being put on paid leave during the investigation. Then we never hear anything about it again and the officer is allowed to return like nothing happened. The players and now Owners need to get involved and find out why the Police Chief, Commissioner, etc does not discipline their officers and work together to take the steps, not a knee but the STEPS necessary to find a solution and put an end to it once and for all.
That's where the NFL players and owners can make a difference. Going and talking to the Head Honchos in charge that hide their cops via "paid suspension" until it dies down and asking them to actually do something about the bad cops instead of letting them keep their badges. No more paid suspensions, leaves, whatever they want to call it as their way of trying to save face in a PR battle with the public. That's where the player's angers should be directed toward. Now Trump did go too far in the name calling and calling all players who kneel SOBs, so their anger toward him is justified. Taking it out on the Anthem by kneeling does not direct the anger where it should be, which is toward the head honchos who allow officers to abuse their power and do nothing about it.
