The asinine kneeling protests continue. On Friday night, an entire high school football team AND coaches took a knee while our National Anthem played.

That’s all great and wonderful for the Garfield HS football team, but will this really make a difference? According to their coach, Joey Thomas, its ALL about oppression combined with focusing on issues and finding solutions. Once that happens, no one will have to kneel.

“You have to talk with kids about the social injustices that are going on because they’re dealing with it regardless,” Thomas added. “Let’s just talk about it. How are you killing these African American males on camera and we can’t even get a day in court…are you kidding me? When is enough, enough? But if you look at history, nothing changes in history until you’re willing to sacrifice.”

Willing to sacrifice? RIGHT. But first, lets revisit the history or our National Anthem. On that day and night so very long ago, Americans were defending a young country against Britain who was, quite frankly, pissed off that they lost a prime colony and wanted it back. They were attacking homes, towns, ships, and kidnapping Americans into slavery on board their own ships. Hence the supposedly problematic 3rd stanza of the Anthem.

So WHOSE agenda are the players at Garfield HS following? Do they REALLY understand that kneeling without action accomplishes nothing? What adversity and sacrifice have they overcome by kneeling while the Anthem is played? Not. One. Damn. Thing. Guess who sacrificed, overcame adversity and in doing so accomplished so much? Yes, that’s correct. A guy named Martin Luther King Jr.

Perhaps the players at Garfield HS need a more recent example. A week ago Sunday Legacy High School’s football team and coaches were in a major accident. Their bus crashed, the driver was killed. 17 players and 3 coaches landed in the hospital.

What did the entire community across metro Denver do? They sure as hell didn’t kneel. They didn’t whine about injustice, and they certainly didn’t natter about oppression. Instead everyone rallied around the bus driver’s family, the team, the players in the hospital, and the injured coaches.

On Friday, Legacy played their Homecoming game against Prairie View. They overcame the memories of a bush crash that killed their driver and has one coach still in the hospital.

They had some extra special fans show up to give them their pregame speech and cheer them on.

Taking a knee wouldn’t have made things better for Legacy. What made things better for them was to push through adversity. Legacy HS worked together as a team and a community for something greater than themselves. Can Garfield HS players and coach Joey Thomas, say the same? All of this seems pretty agenda driven on his part. Here’s a question:

@CHSfeed OK, all this kneeling has America's attn, what ideas, solutions, do the athletes have?

I’d like to know the answer to that one. The same question has been asked of the pro athletes as well. Thus far… CRICKETS.
