If a player knelt in support of law enforcement/troops/whatever after expressing he felt that law enforcement were being unfairly treated, I'd be shocked if said player was booed (presuming fans knew the backstory). These fans simply don't want to hear about the mistreatment of SOME people, by SOME law enforcement, based on skin color. They have their fingers in their ears and refuse to listen. Which is exactly where the whole kneeling thing started - Kaepernick was originally sitting as his protest but after talking with a veteran they came up with kneeling as a respectful way of expressing the same sentiment. --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion ...
