The Beaumont Bulls, a youth football team in Beaumont, Texas, whose members are receiving death threats after following the lead of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in protesting the national anthem over America's treatment of "blacks and people of color," as Kaepernick explained to NFL Media, will continue their demonstration, according to the team's coach and the mother of one of the players.

April Parkerson, the mother of 11-year-old running back Jaelun Parkerson, confirmed to ABC News that players on the team have received threatening messages. She said the team's protest of the national anthem "will continue.


These parents should all be fired from the coaching team. They should not use the children as political pawns.

I concur. We should stop ALL unequal treatment of "blacks and people of color."
NO MORE SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
NO MORE LOWERED STANDARDS.
NO MORE RACIAL PREFERENCES.
NO MORE FORCED INTEGRATION.
NO MORE RACIAL QUOTAS.

If you want to be successful, work hard, study hard, overcome obstacles. Stop looking for entitlements, special treatment, and dispensations.

If you can't pass the test, you don't get the benefit.
If you can't do the job, you're fired.

"Death threats". This is just a way to keep the people from speaking out. There are no real death threats.

"You have to shut up and remain compliant because we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt".

Anybody catch the Southpark episode about this last night?

The protest has turned into its own entertainment.

Fired? Where does it say that the parents forced the team to do it in the first place? It doesn't. And by the way, did you see where one of the coaches does this because he wants to keep kids off the streets? But no, by all means, get rid of the people who want to better the lives of those kids because the kids knelt during the national anthem.

Why wouldn't they?

I think sporting events are a good venue to play the anthem publicly allowing people to reflect upon those who have sacrificed for our nation.

This youth football league is sponsored by the NFL and funded by donations from corporate sponsors - oddly enough , that list of sponsors page is blank as is the Leadue Rules page.

These kids are being indoctrinated into Victimhood and the Riot/Protest/Racist attitudes of Black Lives Matter.

Baby snowflakes??? Not sure what that means. Have you ever felt bullied or persecuted that you needed to take a stand because you are fed up with it. Obviously not. But don't deny someone of exercising their 1st amendment rights. If you do then let's take away the 2nd amendment rights and so on.
