No surprise here. They've taken political stances in the past.
Pathetic.
Entire Indiana Fever roster kneels for national anthem
Sports guy on 59 news went ballistic on this today, condemning anybody who didn't agree with it and him as racists. It was irritating so I turned the tv off.

I'm gonna go with pats 0; Texans 2.Twitter feed just turned on w/Thursday night football. Are we betting on the kneel count?
29% that's a fair amount. But I'll offer this nugget, 1966, Martin Luther King Jr was the most disliked man in America, 63% unfavorable. In current times, he's in the mid-90s%

Your implication that history will revere Kupernick in the same vein as Dr. King is, to me, more than ludicrous. Kupernick has risked no personal blood nor treasure and I doubt he will. His failing career is not likely to be negatively impacted by a diminution of his contract. His employers apparently lack the fortitude to impart any type of sanction against him.
His actions give meaningless word play to a real problem - but impart no solution nor plan of action to make a real meaningful impact.
Dr. King did so in a time when there truly was widespread public and institutionalized oppression, and he did it with grace and honor, in a peaceful manner. I wish today's protesters could take the same tack (not saying the anthem kneelers are violent, just misguided). I submit that the perceived oppression that they're protesting against doesn't exist on a scale anywhere close to what it was in MLK's day.That's not the point. MLK Jr shed both blood and treasure, and at the time was still looked upon unfavorably. I can say with almost complete confidence, that history will look back on Kap favorably. Keep in mind that generally speaking, it was your parents and grandparents that thought ill of Dr King, and their subsequent children believed differently. I'd imagine the same thing will happen again, especially considering the way the nation has been trending.
