[Aaron Rodgers] A few years ago we were criticized for locking arms in solidarity before the game. It has NEVER been about an anthem or a flag. Not then. Not now. Listen with an open heart, let’s educate ourselves, and then turn word and thought into action.
Yet Aaron Rodgers a dude who everyone seems to not like, understands the issue and how to answer the question appropriately. |

How exactly do you propose to keep politics out of a discussion of players kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality?

The forums of both teams, the Falcons and the Panthers, locked the threads about Brees' comments right away. It seems that they don't want their fans to talk about it.

“It’s never been about the anthem or flag”... so why not kneel during the coin toss? On the first play on offense?
During a 3+ hour football game why kneel during the two minutes when the focus IS on the anthem and flag if “it’s never been about the flag”? Also let’s flash back to what LeBron James said three years ago about why NBA players don’t take a knee during the National Anthem... Quote:

It’s clearly about the flag. Rodgers is wrong. “Life, liberty and justice for all”. Kaepernick and the BLM movement is about the black community not receiving those things, whether you agree with it or not.
That’s why they kneel during the anthem. That and the attention it brings

That's because you are an idiot.
'All of it' 'all institutions' 'all ideals' 'all history' everything that unites us. "He means just cops." - Do better, I believe you can.

This is gonna sound bad but a lot of this is going to be about how he plays. His biggest issue is that he offended guys on his team. If he plays well they'll get over it for the most part because winning.
But lets not forget this is a guy who basically looked washed at the end of last year and he's 41. If he goes out there and he's not good anymore or he's just ok...then it will be worse. Guys won't give a **** at that point. |

Maybe I overestimated you.
Apologies, idiot.
