Lets see quick google search and. Yup.
But when asked about it, he didn’t back down in the slightest. Calling the flag “a symbol of oppression, of tyranny,” he said. “This country has a long history of that. I don’t think you can argue the facts. You can’t be for God and for oppression.”
Please humor me and tell me what change you think that Colin (or Mohamed) has brought about in this country through his kneeling? From his pig sock, his castro shirts, to his adopted white parents, what positive outcomes have come to fruition through his protests of oppression (while making millions of dollars) ?

I know exactly what their protests represented but thanks for reminding the ones that seem to have short memories... Very disturbing.. Wake up....
Like I said "I'm done for good"!!!!

Exactly. That his opinion and his alone...**** sure doesn't mean that's it's not disrespectful to kneel for the national anthem.
Not disrespectful to wear pig socks to make fun of LEO Jj?
