Kneeling

United States, NFL players are justified in their demonstrations since their protests are constitutional and legal. This act of kneeling, caught the attention of many influential people, including the President, Donald Trump.

teams. Over the past year to present time, there has been quite a lot of controversy within the league. There has been a major political issue with select NFL players kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before kickoff. The kneeling of players is executed to represent a form of silent protest. The NFL players kneeling believe that there are prevailing issues in our nation that need to be brought to the public’s attention. According to the philosopher, Boxill, protest is meant to not

represent our country? Then they just start kneeling at games, That makes me disappointed in them for millions they still don’t respect the flag. Whenever I see a player kneel I always think, why are you kneeling, who even started this, and when was this started. There are tons of reasons that NFL players are kneeling like for example they could just be doing it because they want to do what everyone else is.
