Do you think people are making this kneeling thing a bigger issue than it really is?


19 y/o Gyree Durante, a backup Quarterback for Division III Albright College in Pennsylvania was cut for kneeling during the national anthem.

He said he was "taught you fight for what you believe in and you don't bow to anyone. I believe heavily in this. So i decided to fight for it"

Professional and College football players and athletes in other sports have been kneeling in protest of Trump's rhetoric that kneeling is disrespect to the soldiers that fight for their country and that it's "unpatriotic"

The school said Gyree was cut because he violated a team decision to show unity by kneeling during the coin toss but standing during the anthem. The school said the players understood there are consequences for anyone that didn't support the team's decision.

Gyree said "At some point in life, there's going to be a time when you've got to take a stand. For me, it just happened to be on Saturday afternoon"

This was the second week in a row that he knelt as a spokesperson said that the action to stand during the anthem was an expression of team unity and out of mutual respect for team members. They said one player chose not to abide by the decision and knew the consequences so he was dismissed from the team.

Gyree said that his black teammates stood for the anthem but that they sympathized with him for what he did....but he got no support from his white teammates as Josh Powell and Stephen Glynn were unsympathetic...Josh said although he understands why he did it, he said his act was a violation of a pledge to make a stand during the anthem.

Josh says "We trusted him throughout the week, after time and time again he told us he would stand. When you cant have a player on a team that you can't trust, he's got to go. Our men and women in military uniform deserve our respect and we all must stand to say we support everything they do for us to keep us safe from the bad guys"

Do you think people are making this kneeling issue a big stink over nothing?

So he stood during the anthem... What the fuck is wrong with that? He didn't violate the rules or break his promise.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.
