Yes. Before Mr Trump interjected himself into the situation I just kinda ignored the kneeling. I don't think it's appropriate, but it doesn't ruffle my feathers like it does for some. The flood gates opened after that rally, and it was a news story.... Not a sports news story, a national news story. I'm not being partisan or political for my disdain for this issue either. I feel the president has bigger fish to fry than what some twenty somethings are doing on a football field. I felt the same way when Congress was meddling on steroids in baseball a decade or so ago. There are real problems in this country, and kneeling isn't one of them. Now it's harder to get away from those problems, and just watch a sporting event.
