Here we go again ..... Seahawks DE Michael Bennett remains seated during national anthem

He is smart if you ask me. Because if he makes this about black people..... he would be out the league within a year. Because clearly he saw what happened and is changing it up a bit so people can't get as mad as they were with Kaeperknick.


It is what I said from day 1. You can't be black and stand for issues that only qualify to black people. Can't do that in this country. Good luck if you do.

Why are people here talking about Bennett's book? Has anyone here read his book? Are you all making assumptions because of a title of a book? If so, shame on you.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

I agree. The numbers aren't there to back up cops purposely targeting blacks and killing them. There other issues with the criminal justice system though, starting and ending with the war on drugs. Wish these guys would get educated, cause I could get behind some of the real issues that have merit.

Well sounds like this is a protest for you then. Because it sounds pretty open to me. Not sure what you all are reading or looking into

sounds like Bennett don't like the counter protesters either

“First of all I want to make sure people understand I love the military—my father was in the military,” Bennett said, per the Seattle Times. “I love hot dogs like any other American. I love football like any other American. But I don’t love segregation, I don’t love riots, I don’t love oppression. I don’t love gender slander. I just want to see people have the equality that they deserve, and I want to be able to use this platform to continuously push the message and keep finding out how unselfish we can be in society, how we can continuously love one another and understand that people are different. And just because people are different doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t like them. Just because they don’t eat what you eat, just because they don’t pray to the same God you pray to doesn’t mean you should hate them. Whether it is Muslim, whether it is Buddhist, whether it is Christianity, I just want people to understand that no matter what, we need to stay together. It’s more about being a human being at this point.”

Easy solution, just play the National Anthem before the players take the field.

The show South Park already came up with the best idea to stop this nonsense & it would be so great if every PA announcer would say this before every game/anthem....

Hache, that would definitely work. @)

Why is the Anthem played before sporting events?
