Sorry, their not the Same. We could be facing one of the greatest depressions of our time and then you have a spoiled child that was raised by a rich family and got everything he wanted in life. Show me someone that has struggled and I'll agree not some pompous child.
this is of course silly. firstly because you used the wrong "they're". secondly because the movement had many people in it, even in the first year of kneeling perhaps a dozen players across the league joined in on many different teams. 2nd year almost every team had a kneeler at some point. meetings with the NFL included many players, not just Kaep.
Kaep got the focus because he WAS a star, and was in decline. he was the biggest name of the initial wave of kneelers. he became the symbol of the movement, but that was media driven. and largely because he was raised by a white family and his career was in decline, it was a story they could write easily to make the whole movement look like a publicity stunt.
i mean think of it this way, at a total guess maybe 40-50 players have kneeled in that movement. without google name 2 that aren't Kaep. u cant of course, Kaep soaked up the sunlight. u should be against just him, not the movement that he stole to offset the loss of his QB career.
