I commend these young men for making their statement and for doing so knowing the potential consequences. They are exercising their rights and expressing their feelings which takes strength! We need people willing to make a stand or in their case kneel, in the face of adversity and will certainly need them in the times ahead. These kids weren't burning flags in the street, they weren't causing trouble for anyone, they were making a statement, a clear and rather bold statement. Anyone who thinks kids don't know what's happening right now, that they don't have feelings about this disaster that is left for them to clean up need to think again! They inherit it, heck, try being them and getting this mess handed to you as your future. MOF how dare anyone try to muffle the voices of the youth and at least they are playing football, more than I can say for the lot of you child silencers.
