This country was built on the backs of people who wanted to make this country a better place and believed that their actions, regardless of how small, may continue to improve society and our country - social justice warriors. The fact that these girls are peacefully protesting, regardless of whether I believe in their position - because I don't kneel for anything, should be celebrated. Calling them names like Clowns is uncalled for and takes away from the discussion. Do you tell your child that you're perfect or s/he is perfect enough that there's nothing more to learn from or grow from? As a nation dealing with different industrial, technological, and social changes, we should be discussing our differences peacefully. Talk to these girls and have a discussion with them if you disagree, don't call them clowns.
I'm a big Steelers fan and when they had their locker room debate about kneeling it caused my team great harm. So divisive. My family has a military history and none of them like this kneeling thing. However, everyone of them said they would die to allow anyone of them the freedom to kneel
Do you see the countries you are comparing us to? We are better than that. We don't want to be those countries. That's how important their right to kneel is (regardless of the positions we hold)- many brave soldiers died for it - so why demean what the brave soldiers died trying to protect? I don't want to live in a country where we are muted and expected to be conforming to all ideas or else it's considered disrespectful. I want a bunch of friends, family and countrymen and women that have the right to peacefully communicate their ideas and thoughts without being afraid to do so. I understand that some soldiers think it's disrespectful to kneel but I know many soldiers who feel honored that everyone is continuing to fight for their country in their own peaceful way...with the rights that they fought to protect to prevent the USA from becoming a North Korea, China, or Middle East.
Thank you for your service and for your efforts to keep this country peaceful in order for everyone to exercise their constitutional rights. I respect your life's work but I don't respect the your specific action to resort to name calling rather than discussing better ways to help the girls bring light to what they see as a social injustice.
She was one of those overrated kids in high school that unlike fine wine, has not improved with adulthood. She also spends a ton of time on her knees.
This match is a must win for both teams. A tie for the Waves could be detrimental to our chances of making the NCAA tournament. That loss to SLO looms large...
I watched the game. They did not get spanked. Stanford had most the ball and chances in first half, but UCLA turned it around in second half and looked dangerous, but Stanford D kept them from any grade A chances. It was a hard fought good match. Not a spanking.
