Taking a knee should become a tradition at athletic events.

All athletes of conscience should take a knee at all public athletic events when the National Anthem is played.

Conversely, those who don't, should not be judged or booed. Kaepernick led the way and risked his career (and his life) for taking a knee. Let's be better than those who disagreed with him and with us. If someone decides to not take a knee, respect their decision.

IMO, taking a knee is a public protest, not just about racism, but against the "presidency" of the horrible orange creature inhabiting the White House.
