Despite your position, you have a position in relation to the actions of the NFL this past weekend of taking a knee during the United States National Anthem's honor to the Flag. As patrons and citizens of the United States, we have been left to speculate the actual purpose of taking a knee. From the articles I have read and the information I have gleaned, I have come to speculate and speculate only, that taking a knee is in relation to racial segregation, racial profiling and racial discrimination. USA Today quoted the Seattle Seahawks:
"We will not stand for the injustice that has plagued people of color in this country. Out of love for our country and in honor of the sacrifices made on our behalf, we unite to oppose those that would deny our most basic freedoms." (Retrieved from USA Today
Anthem Kneeling Isn't Aimed at Veterans and other NFL Protest Misconceptions).
Which basic freedoms are referenced here? Is it the Affirmative Action of equal opportunity of housing, education and employment? Is it protection from law enforcement racial profiling? Is it the freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness? The statements are vague and ambiguous yet the protesting continues with little to no definition and little to no action in real world scenarios.
