[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1453026, member: 24816"] I can see your point, that they may indeed be trying to remain respectful by kneeling and it is a peaceful act. My feeling is though that in the days of Rosa Parks, she lived in a very different time period in our history. She was an individual should have been treated with the same respect as anyone else, but she did not have that luxury when she took a stand by remaining seated. Our former pastor's father pastored a church close to the church where MLK's father preached and I have heard him quote many times some of MLK Jr's speech, he described it as having seen over the mountain, even he may never get there himself. He was aware of the dangers of the world he lived in but he had faith that it would get better. There are still injustices and discrimination does still exist, but not as open as once was. My point is that these NFL folks are basically celebrities in their status, and should have many opportunities and avenues to express their views. Many young children and teens look to them as role models, and I think they have an awesome responsibility should they choose to accept it of being those positive role models. I feel that since everything seems so divided that we all need to find common ground and standing for the anthem is a demonstration of that. I often think if we all could just do our parts to show kindness then things would be a lot better. [/QUOTE]
