High school football players get booted after they #TakeAKnee
2017-10-02
[VictoryGirlsBlog] Two football players have finally lost their positions after they decided to protest the National Anthem and American flag. Granted, they are high school players on a private school team, but they’ve been booted nonetheless. On Friday, Houston private school Victory & Praise Christian Academy players and cousins, Cedric Ingram-Lewis and Larry McCullough, followed through on their plans to protest during the anthem. Ingram-Lewis raised a fist while McCullough took a knee.
With apologies to Zenobia Floger6220:



They were immediately told to remove their uniforms and leave the game by their coach Ronnie Mitchum. Mitchum happens to be a former Marine and current pastor.
...
Ingram-Lewis’ mother said the players shouldn’t be told what time they can and cannot protest.

"He has a slave master mentality," she said. "If you were to go back to that when they wanted to tell us this is what you are going to do and this is how you do it. And if we didn’t comply, we were beaten, whooped or even killed."
...

Continues.

#6  Yup, or the Pokémon deal.

My prediction, if the line about ESPN showing the Anthem tonight, is that the game being Redskins @ Chiefs there will be those who cannot help but Takeaknee Go!

Yeah, I had to look up the game, raised Chiefs here.

Then we can compare this to yesterday's final game of the Royals, where a sub-.500 team basically eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago had a sold-out full stadium to give a farewell to the core of the 2014 and 2015 players who go on the market after this season.

#5  Watching this, I can't help but think this crap is nothing more than the most recent iteration of "The Ice Bucket Challenge" bozo-fest.

It'll die out on its own, eventually.

#4  Really. I would think the slave masters' mentality would be making them work for something they do not believe in.

#2  Mark Steyn has an excellent commentary on this phenomenon. Among other things, he points out that you have a "right" top shout four-letter words at someone's grandmother's funeral. This doesn't mean that you should do it nor that any civilized human being would do it.
