So you think they’ll to stupid to know why they did what they did? So now they are low IQ thugs? Your true colors are showing. This is the main reason they are kneeling.
The gang members are low IQ thugs. Those men kneeling are just athletes. Taking a knee doesn't constitute being a thug. Committing violent crimes constitutes being a thug. For some people, being Black and doing something that some people disagree with(that happens to be legal) constitutes being a thug.
Maybe you are OK living in a society that has no standards of behavior other than nobody gets physically injured, but many of us prefer a society that has some standards. Very high amongst them being we all set aside our differences and respect the US flag and anthem and what they stand for. These players are taking the stance that it isn't their flag or anthem, that they are not Americans first and foremost before they are a subset of our society.
Yeah I'm okay living in a society that fosters freedom of speech and protest. Especially when a certain group of people tell everyone else how a million people died for that right in the first place.

If they say they do it in name of unity, why would you insist it is about something else? Is it because Trump said so? You feel you have to say what he says?

White people were involved too so perhaps the word thug wasn't used as a reference to only blacks?
Its a simple statement so I'm not sure why so many are confused by it.
They are also confused about that the protest is about. They players, and owners, clearly stated it is to show unity, but some insist they are protesting against the flag, the country and the military. Confusion runs deep these days.
I’m just in a no win situation. I’m black. If I don’t support the kneeling then I’m called a sell out, coon, or Uncle Tom. I just don’t understand. They say they have the freedom and right to kneel but if I don’t also support them, I’m an Uncle Tom. Where is my right or freedom to choose? If you are white and don’t support them kneeling then you are automatically a raciest? You should see my Facebook feed. How can you preach freedom but then don’t give others the freedom to choose?
