George, why "black" athletes kneel? did you not read the article where they state out of 680 police shootings that only 161 were black? that means out of the "reported" shootings only about 24% are black, the other 76% are not. the kneeling is flat out a political statement being exploited by those players by using their professional positions in the NFL as a means to attain their political goals. in my opinion, its completely unethical and likely a breach of their contracts to do that and they all need to be held in breach of contract and run off.
