Of course it all got lost when the spin happened, and political figures pounced on it, but that is significant because he and others were doing what they were told by our Vets. Kneeling has never been seen as disrespectful until now. NEVER! It's always been an act of grace. Biblical. Something done in front of Kings, when praying, show of deference etc.....
People just got lost and manipulated by Fake News! It's really unfortunate, but it's the world we live in.
This is a great point that i honestly forgot.
Nice post man. Still, i agree with lots on here that there were other ways to go about this, not on the football field.
It alienated lots of fans like Bonnie here, which was probably not lots of the players intentions.

I remember you saying this Bonnie, just happy our Bengals handled it the right way and you are still here.
I don't think you should be mad at the Bengals for signing a player that helps the team though.
Reid said he has no plans to kneel again.
God don't care who you were, he cares who you are.
