Yea, I just find it hard to comprehend the thinking on this entire issue much less the people that condone such disrespect. First of all it's hard to imagine how someone making millions per year has been so "oppressed".
Tillman was a true patriot, when he quit the NFL and joined the military, not trying to get on camera by disrespecting this country doing a "hey, look at me" kneel down knowing the cameras are on him.
It's "followers" not "leaders" that support this attention seeking moron.
the players have never said they personally were "oppressed", its their people who are , through unlawful and questionable killings/arrests, which i agree with. the purpose of the kneeling was to bring attention to the issue, not to say they are personally struggling. but of course, instead of talking about that issue, it became focused on him "disrespecting the flag".
Look at like this, lets say my friends leg was broken. To get your attention for assistance, i throw a bottle against your house. However instead of acknowledging my friend and helping me to get him assistance, you berate me and only focus on how i got your attention, saying, hey you should've did something else to get help, something i was more comfortable with.
Not trying to make the convo political, just trying to get you to see things from the point of view of many of us out there.
