For one, coming together against a wanna-be tyrant who takes a willfully ignorant disrespectful stance, unsolicited--don't forget-- and uniting in support of others who chose to--DARED TO--- use peaceful protest an issue and issues they believe are not getting the attention deserved.

Their collective voice shows they will not set around and let a loudmouth fool attack them.

That's great and all but why? What good does that do?

The NFL players have a giant platform and THIS is the best they can do?  What a waste of media attention this whole thing has become.

I am not supporting what the POTUS said or does. I'm not a supporter of either political party or the two party system as a whole. 

I just fail to see what good they are doing by kneeling.  Just as the POTUS is divisive with his statements the kneeling seems to be doing nothing but accomplishing the same thing.

This feels like a giant dick swinging competition that nobody really wins.
