Injustices, inequality and police brutality against minorities, specifically black people.
It's pretty clear. I'm from Australia and I know what they are protesting.
It's not rocket science.
There is a way to protest it, what's they are doing is not the way,

its not rocket science. Look at the backlash they are getting, isa their protest helping? No, it is if nothing else hurting their cause.

Isn't it odd that in America our flag and our culture offend so many people........ but our benefits don't?

Its even more odd that they can stand for "God Save the Queen" but not our own anthem. Perhaps they all flunked history. That's all I can think of,they flunked history,every one of them.

isn't it strange that people care more about a piece of cloth then they care about people? Our country doesn't exactly treat veterans the way they should. That alone is reason enough to protest
No,you got that backwards,people do care about vets,thats why they care about that "piece of cloth". It's the gov't,big gov't,that has done the vets wrong,not the people. And we did protest,we kicked their *edited* out of office. And if they don't straighten up,we'll do it again!!

​p.s. Edited myself...

I am A conservative and I like Trump but look at the language he giving to our kids. It’s a shame.

Hey,I don't agree with the language. But perhaps he was so forceful because he had visited young men that had been torn up while defending this country. I get that he feels pretty strongly about it.

I'm a vet. I don't like this taking a knee thing when directed at our flag, but I would much rather they take a knee than destroy neighborhoods. In fact, I would love to see a lot more taking a knee every time anyone gets the urge to throw a brick at a window, a policeman, or someone who disagrees with his position.

While they are taking a knee, I would love for them to ask Jesus to come into their hearts and life.

Let me rephrase my last sentence to more accurately state what I mean.

Lastly, it was a Veteran that inspired Kapernick to kneel instead of sitting to show respect to those who served. Nate Boyer, a former Army Green Beret turned NFL long snapper, penned an open letter to Colin in the Army Times.

Pray tell,who inspired him to wear socks with pigs in cop hats? Sorry,Im not buying this junk at all. As I said,when NFL takes a knee against domestic abuse,against abortion and racist Margret Sanger,against black on black crime,against fatherless homes in the black community and BLM and Black Panthers,then I'd start taking them seriously.

Can't understand the mentality that says "America is a country founded on freedoms sooooooooooooo we have the freedom and right to tear down this country based on the freedoms they gave us...."

And that is exactly is what its about,tearing the country apart because progressive libs didn't win. They have a socialist/communist agenda they are pushing and they don't care who the run down in the process. Libs use the race card when all else fails and thats what this is about.I can't believe people are so naive.

Isn't it hypocritical of people to bring up domestic abuse, rape, etc. when these same people are (or have been) supporting teams with these kind of players? As a Cowboys fan, you cheered for Ezekiel Elliot. So where was the outrage with him? Not saying one is greater than the other. I just find it a little hypocritical when people are throwing those things out there but weren't threatening to boycott the sport back then.

From what I gather, they do not actually teach history in school anymore. At least history as we know it. They have watered it down to where half of what happened is not even taught anymore.

Oh lets see, Protest police brutality at police stations, at sheriffs offices, At government city centers At state houses (since police are a government run institution) where it will actually have an affect and not alienate people. Go someplace where you can make change, Do it in voting, we vote for top officials. Let them know your not going to stand for it anymore.

what they are doing now is causing division, Not helping their cause, and going to cause many to stop respecting them, and they will pay in the pocket book.

Go to the inner city, Help with education, Help create jobs, Go to the schools, teach how a man earns his wage, it is not handed to him, teach them how to be united citizens, which care more about their families than where they are going to get their next drug that will make them feel better.

The schools and limbs have failed. They have taught this generation that everyone owes them, When this nation falls (and if it does not change, it will) it will be these people who have no idea how to survive, because the nation who takes us over, will not care one bit about them.

I'm Centrist. We get a bad reputation as being cowards and sitting on the fence when nothing could be farther from the truth. As a Centrist I see past the irrelevant emotional rhetoric on both sides and make decisions based on logic and reason. I can be liberal in some areas and conservative in other areas. It all depends on the issue at hand
But you seem to do such a poor job of choosing your "causes." Most of them seem so Socialistically biased.
