NFL Players "Explain" Why They Are Protesting

If it's not about the flag, or the National Anthem, then why are they choosing to "protest" during the recognition of the symbol that those who fought, were disabled, or died defending our freedoms? And they still don't get why many fans are upset about this action!

NEW YORK (World News Bureau) - In a recent polling of 585 NFL players, nearly all of them were unsure of exactly what they are protesting.

Here's a sampling of responses to the question "What are you protesting by kneeling during the National Anthem?"

"Pretty sure it's against Nazis - especially the white ones."

"We're protesting America becoming capitalistic instead of equal"

"I'm protesting against Trump saying black lives don't matter."

"We're against global warming and the police."

"We're showing the world that we care about, ahh, things such as.. such as...ahhhhh, freedom from suppression?"

"Me and my fellow players are protesting the Constitution of Independence because of what it does to people of color."

"We are displaying our right to stand up by kneeling for our beliefs."

"We are protesting Trump, because he, you know, keeping the black man down and sh*t."

"Myself is kneeling to show that just because I'm American don't mean I got to act like one."

Footnote: I had a feeling this was started by "No team Cappy" because he knew it would eventually spread around the country and be taken up by others. Here's a prime example of it in action.

What's amazing to me is, as I covered in an earlier post, very little to no mention is being made about what the actual NFL Players rule book says about this issue: "All players must stand silently, with their helmet under their left arm, during the playing of the National Anthem at the start of each game."

Alright, let's be honest about this. Like most polls and reporting about the results, they've listed the more blatantly ignorant, or ridiculous comments here. However, it does shed some light on the level of brainwashing and lack of education about the very country which has progressed in terms of giving them equal, if not preferential treatment to be able to become a millionaire for playing a couple of years because of their physical talents, but not so much their intellectual ones.
