Personally, I think a football player sitting during the anthem is ineffectual. It’s less effective even than temporarily adding an overlay to your Facebook avatar after a crisis.

We’re talking about it though, I’d say they were pretty successful.

We’re talking about him sitting. We’re not talking much about police brutality. Case in point.

I talked about it. It’s you guys (mostly Warb) who would rather complain about someone sitting down during a song.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When he tries to get attention for his cause by doing something shitty, it is not going to make me care much for his cause. Besides, I am not the one they are trying to reach. I am just me. I have no power. I have no authority over the cops. Most of the time I vote more liberal anyway.

You have your vote. And your mind. Those can influence others.

and you know it is not just a “*song*”.

Sure, the song represents something. But your fetishization of the national anthem is misguided flag-waving. Why do you care so much about a kneel?
