Kenny Mayne of ESPN Commentary on NFL/Anthem -Excellent commentary!

"Have you ever heard of The Green Book?
The official title was The Negro Motorist Green Book.
It was published from 1936 to 1966 to inform black motorists about the places on the map where they could and couldn’t stop, eat or sleep under Jim Crow. The stretches of highway where the Ku Klux Klan used lynching indiscriminately. It kept the list of sundown towns where nonwhites were not allowed after dark. There were thousands of sundown towns all over the country.
The Negro Motorist Green Book. For black people. To get around safely. In their own country."

"The players who have peacefully dissented have never once said a bad word about our military, but some people believe the demonstrations insult our armed forces. It’s just an easier criticism to make by those who aren’t interested in the actual issue. If you or your kids aren’t likely to face a life-and-death situation based on the shade of their pigmentation, it’s not difficult to go with the simplistic story when it comes to a government-sponsored ceremonial event at the start of football games."

"A pretty solid venue for expressing a point of view is during a compulsory patriotic ceremonial event held in publicly financed stadiums, broadcast over federally allocated airwaves. You can’t ask for more than that if you have an argument to make. The protesting players, in short, are calling for us to live up to the principles represented by the flag."
