Maybe cross arms in solidarity
Maybe turn there backs on the crowd

(52,196 posts)All this fake outrage over pretending that kneeling before a football game is, suddenly and unlike in every other kneeling situation, offensive is all one giant excuse to smack down black people for whining about getting shot by the police.
Come up with any solution you want to the kneeling "problem", it's all bullshit because it's a fake problem. They'll happily keep changing the rules as long as they don't have to do anything about black people getying killed by the police.
Sorry for being strident but don't let the frame the debate. The kneeling is to get us talking about black peoples getting killed by the police, not to get us talking about the niceties or protesting.
