Current Events > Whatever happened to the whole kneeling thing? Who won?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I haven't heard anything about it anymore and never found out who won in the end

Giant corporate entities that rode the controversy for every dollar they could won.

So do the players get to kneel or stand or what?

---

This is America, so corporations, billionaires, and their government sycophants won and we all lost. That is the only outcome.

Colin got his payday behind closed doors and then it all went away. Then Jay-Z signed a big contract for the halftime show, and he didn't seem to care about the politics anymore either.

Still one of the dumbest controversies. Especially since the complainers had no issue with the religiously-themed Tebowing.

it's just like the hunger games. we're pretty much screwed.

I'm not a football fan, but didn't the NFL make it a rule to have to stand after all the kneeling?

Goodell imposed fines for kneeling starting last season. Idr but maybe suspensions as well.

Said either you stay in the locker room for the anthem or you stand on the field.

I'm just getting a bunch of edgy answer. I don't care about corporations won because of money. Are they forced to stand/kneel now? What was the outcome of the actual kneeling. I didn't ask about JayZ either.....closest I got was post #9 can someone confirm?

Some teams have team policies forbidding kneeling, but it really isn't a league rule. Players are afraid to do it, though, because of how it ruined Kaepernick's career. They know if a QB who went to a Super Bowl can get blackballed, they have no shot at getting away with it.

Tebow won the whole kneeling controversy.
---

Kaep took the money and went away because he was truely never about the cause, just the money.

its basically gone away since then. Nike profited off of it, which is hilarious considering the slave labor they use that Kaep doesnt seem to give a shit about.

Eric Reid still bitches about it every now and then and thats about it.

^Then we have hypocritical douches like that guy who are super pissed somebody with brown skin is anything but subservient, which is exactly why the whole thing is a problem.
---

Did we really have to bring the idiots to the surface again with this conversation. Please seek somewhere other than CE if you want real answers. If you just wanted stupid responses from people who believe the first thing they want to and never look further into it then you're getting it.

Where would I do that? I don't have account on other sites....besides after my last post I got real responses and I'm content now. No more posting on this topic now.

"Who won?" is literally in your topic title, but okay.

I added the Jay Z part because it's the only real story about any of this in the past couple months. I'm "edgy" though. Sorry for posting facts.

Actually, i dont give a damn if people kneel or take a shit during the anthem, who gives a shit about it.

But to sit there and say Kaep didnt have ulterior motives and is this shining beacon of social justice is absolutely laughable. He took the 10 million dollar payout (which is absolute chump change to the nfl) instead of taking the nfls ass to court and signed an NDA so he cant talk about anything his lawyers may have dug up on the league and the collusion owners at all.

The dude absolutely sold out and doesnt give a damn anymore, come off it.
