I already told you what I think, now you tell me why you think they are taking a knee and if you stand or kneel for the anthem.

I know why so why don't you just drop it. Two of the coaches are military veterans. Don't go there. Let's keep politics out of this. They are an amazing group of women and that is a fact. Don't question their patriotism or their beliefs. Unlike in this country although they all don't share the same opinions they are all unified in their cause.

So step off.

Wrong platform, poor timing.
I am sure some of there gripes are justified, but I like most of America believe there are far better places to do this.

Wrong platform? White privilege has the benefit of choosing the platform. The one African American player on the team saw an injustice and ALL of her teammates supported her. Please don't bother to reply to this with some BS unless you are ready for a firestorm.

Obviously you did not read it,

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began sitting, and later kneeling, during the national anthem in August 2016, which has prompted a number of athletes at all levels to do the same in protest of racial oppression and police brutality.

Megan Rapinoe of the Seattle Reign and U.S. women’s national soccer team knelt during the anthem in September 2016. USWNT responded with a policy that requires everyone representing the team to stand during the anthem. Rapinoe now stands but refrains from coming onto the field until after the music is over.

Fleming, a Canadian, is one of three international players who took a knee during the anthem at Arizona. She was joined by fellow Canadian and freshman defender Kennedy Faulknor from Ontario, Canada, and sophomore goalkeeper Teagan Micah, who is from Queensland, Australia.

Six members of the UCLA squad, including two members of the coaching staff, knelt during the anthem before their game against the Wildcats. A few more Bruins knelt before notching a victory over Utah four days later.

“We’re supporting racial equality and racial justice. We make it known that the team is together and unified,” said coach Amanda Cromwell. “We have two veterans on our staff. I know the country is divided a little bit, but we honor our military by kneeling.”

I am sure they are amazing women, if they didn't want attention then they should have chosen a different way to do this.

I don't care who they are or what color they are, I don't think it is the right place for a protest, that's all.

Who are you to say what they should or shouldn't do? Have you ever felt something was unjust and wanted to do something about it? Or do you just fall into line like a good little boy. You are clueless.

I am not saying anything bad about your girl, but when people make decisions like this everyone will not agree with them.

And that is fine. Plenty of people went along with what was going on in Nazi Germany too. Plenty of attendees at a clan rally. Did that any of that outrage you? What about the assassination of MLK or JFK? What about the outrageous, untrue and felonious things that your boy Trump says and does everyday?

At some point ones feelings, words and actions become who they are and they ALWAYS have unintended consequences.

You should think about that @Sheriff Joe .....

It has nothing to do with the Flag or disrespect for service men or women

It has everything to do with disrespecting your country, flag and those that died for this country. We are still the greatest country in the world, not really even close IMO. Find another way to protest. If I were a coach/administrator they would not play and scholarships would be pulled.
Let me first say that most normal people can agree that there are racist people in this world. You will never be able to legislate this out of society's. Racism and hatred are taught emotions by uneducated closed minded bigoted people. IMO the only way to fix this and it may never be, is by education.
Now lets get into the reason why this originally came to the forefront. It came to be, by a lie that was spread by the left wing political party including our former president about a little incident in Ferguson, MO. The incident was touted that a black man was unjustly shot by a white cop for no reason. The hype was built up to a frenzied level by the left hype machine which caused riots, destruction and helped to further pull sides apart. It turned out and was proven by independent federal investigators that were in part brought on by the Obama administration that this was completely false. It was just another thug and that turned and charged an officer. If he would have taken a knee and obeyed the law, he would be alive today. Yes I know there are bad people in every segment of our country. There are bad officers in the police force. Convict and punish those bad seeds.
The attitude from the left and right are pushing people further and further apart. The bigmouths form both sides are weakening our country, where most of the answers or somewhere in the middle of these two groups not out on the extremes.

From the coach

"We’re supporting racial equality and racial justice. We make it known that the team is together and unified,” said coach Amanda Cromwell. “We have two veterans on our staff. I know the country is divided a little bit, but we honor our military by kneeling.”
