Kneeling During the Anthem
In the NFL players are starting to kneel during the national anthem, San Francisco 49ers quarter back Colin Kapernick is kneeling during the national anthem, he says he is doing it because he doesn't wan to represent a country that kills innocent black people. Many players are still showing respect by standing but they hold up a fist witch is a symbol for black power. I don't disagree with what these players are doing but I don't know if I'd do it, I think we need to stand for all our soldiers who have fallen. What I would do is hold up a fist show how I feel about the police brutality. What would you guys do if you were a player in the NFL?
We both talked about very similar things. The thing different is that i talked about others and how they where also going in the moment. I wished you actually gave your opinion on which side you chose and maybe next time you should do that.
ReplyDeleteDid you know in all 3 instances were unarmed black men were shot, they had done many crimes and were trying to run away.
ReplyDeleteWe both had the same point on the topic. My thought on the whole entire situation is that there is another way to get your point across, that is my main thought on this whole entire situation. One question I do have how ever is what would be another way to get his point across?
ReplyDeleteI found info like "the Dolphins kneel during anthem due to racial problems". I found it interesting when explained what all the reasons behind the players actions were. Do you think they have the right to do such an act?

ReplyDeleteVery interesting, I heard about this, but didn't know about athletes holding up their fists. The innocent killings are unacceptable and need to be recognized. If I were in the NFL, I would not kneel because I believe it is disrespectful to America, but I certainly would hold up a fist to pay respect because police brutality is not okay.
ReplyDeleteThis is very shocking but I understand why they are doing it because of the killings. I would not kneel but I would have a press conference or talk about how these killing are bad because kneeling is disrespectful to the fallen soldiers.
