this should be a bigger story, more HS kids have kneeled and all are receiving threats. everything is all fukked up that young kids put up with this shyt from their 'teammates' and get no support from the coaches or community. it's one thing when it's professional athletes because everyone has to chime in with their dumbass two cents because everyone has an opinion when it comes to athletes, but don't want them to have opinions because they should shut up play the sport and count their millions
i never in my life thought that the anthem or pledge of allegiance or all that shyt was so important it meant criticizing, insulting, dehumanizing those that protest it. tbh, i felt some type of way we all had to say the pledge of allegiance in elementary school to the point I stopped saying it when possible - that shyt is even worse looking back because it makes you say a creed involving equality, liberty, and justice for all. (not that I was protesting it, i just felt saying it every day was a waste of time on some brainwashing shyt)
