In the same spirit:

Taking a knee is a show of respect. Here is a short, quick list of examples:

People get on their knees to pray.
People get on at least one knee to make a marriage proposal.
People get on their knees to apologize.
People get on their knees to say vows.
Players take a knee when another player is injured.
Nearly everyone crawls before they walk.
People get on their knees to take oaths.
When God brings you to your knees." - Genesis 42:1-38

I am sure there are many other examples.

There is a message in the actions of the NFL players. We should seek to understand what it is, and take solidarity with them as we see fit. Whatever is causing them to take these actions is NOT going away, it is only going to grow. So, we as a country must address these issues, and correct them.

Kiss my ass you dip shit. It's simple disrespect. You liberals love majorities. You know, how Trump didn't win the popular vote so he shouldn't be President. Well over 65% of Americans are against what the players are doing. I guarantee I work with and see way more Veterans than you do. They are overwhelmingly against what the players are doing. Tell me exactly what they think they are accomplishing. They kneel in protest of the police while the police secure the stadium they are in. Wouldn't it make more sense if they marched around in front of police stations with signs saying police brutality if that's what they believe? Just how does what they are doing help?
