The white children and white adults stood proudly with their hands over their hearts.
As a 64 year old white women it sickens me that the white adults don't have a fucking clue !!!!!!!!!!
The white adults are passing their ignorance and intolerance on to their children.

For all we know, this was a personal decision by the one team, without informing the other team. In any case, politicizing kids is dubious in my opinion.

You are right. Clueless and passing on ignorance to children.
That is so great. Just think of the discussions they had about doing this - true character building.
I feel proud of all of them.

Look at some of the kids looking over at their coach. He has taught them about pride in sticking up for ones beliefs, and they know they can look to him for support when needed.
