4. My day is so much brighter now - WOW

Thanks for posting, Dinah!!

5. Yes!

My hometown team, The Atlanta Falcons.

6. It's funny that the same people that vowed to not watch after Kaepernick took a knee are

saying the same thing now. So they came back. I guess they just waited until they thought it all went away.

I say get the hell out and stay out! Go to monster truck rallies and wrasslin' matches I guess.

7. Spectators??

Was there any booing from the spectators??

[niyad]

8. Welcome to DU. I don't know if there are spectators.

[caraher]

10. No spectators

Probably saved Atlanta from the embarrassment Kansas City had Thursday, with fans booing a moment of unity

[calimary]

23. Welcome to DU, DemUnleashed!

It's hard to understand why any spectators would boo.

I know some have. And I do not understand why.

11. Brilliant move that adds another dimension to the protest.

They can't be accused of disrespecting the anthem, flag, military, police, god, apple pie, guns, whatever.

But some are going to argue that they are interfering with the game itself, even though the ball was kicked into the end zone and bounced out of the back of it, so the outcome of that play didn't change.

And it can be done at any time during the game when there is a kickoff.

14. Based on the OP, I assumed the ball was still in play since they said there was no return

Did it go into the end zone or not?

[Mr.Bill]

16. It looked like it landed in the end zone and bounced out of the back of it.

There was a man in the end zone who theoretically could have caught it and ran it out, but that is rare when the kick is that strong. But he was on one knee and clearly had no intention of catching it.

[Ilsa]

18. Ball landed in the very back of the End Zone,

and I think it was out of bounds. No return available. But the special teams receiver was already taking a knee.

[patphil]

19. It went through the end zone; official signaled a touchback.

[Laelth]

12. That's truly lovely and inspiring. n/t

13. Kick and Rec...

Well done.

[CaptainTruth]

15. That... is... awesome!

[mountain grammy]

17. Good for them!

I like it. They were united.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. Wow. That's what the teams should do at the start of every game.

21. Nice, but if we lose the Hispanic vote....

Not sure why Joe is not getting out ahead of this Hispanic voter issue. Hispanic leaders are all over the Sunday shows begging him to directly engage Hspanic voters. He needs to immediately hold a series of Hispanic town halls and let them explain their issues. He needs to announce at least 2 Hispanic people will be in his cabinet.

Its frustrating to be devoting time and money to help Joe get elected and see such a huge mistake brewing. The Hispanic voter will decide this election even more than the BLM voter.

[MichMan]

25. Is there something about the NFL season that prompted you to post about the Hispanic vote?

I'm not seeing a connection ?

[JonLP24]

26. Many people of all races support BLM

As far as the Hispanic vote I saw the problem coming when we nominated Biden.

November 22, 2019When Carlos Rojas, an immigration activist, pressed Biden at an event in South Carolina on the issue of deportations during the Obama administration, Biden told Rojas, “you should vote for Trump.”
