To each their own. You were brought up differently from others. As was I. However im not the professional sports player making millions every year and doing nothing but kneeling.
"A sup par/mediocre quarterback started a trend of kneeling during an anthem. This led to other millionaire players doing the same thing, which in turn got everybody and their momma talking about it.
So ratings decline because an ineffective form of protest by millionaires makes the people that line their pockets, not want to watch the sport.
Meanwhile, the actual thing they're protesting remains unchanged because kneeling does absolutely nothing towards working towards fixing the issue... it just gets everybody bickering at each other; notice, most people aren't event talking about what they're supposedly protesting. Likely when election time comes around, the millionaire kneelers will buck dance for some politician who will pay lip service to the "reform."
Because passing new laws and using the word "accountability" a thousand times will somehow make government agents follow rules, even though they don't follow the ones that exist now."
