Taking a knee is the latest distraction from tRump

So many things to distract us from: Russia, Trumpcare, N. Korea. I could on. As long as we keep being distracted by Trump's games, the harder we lose.

"Taking a knee" predates Trump's presidency. It will most likely outlast him.

Forgive me if I challenge your priorities, but mine are clear. Any sign or symbol that brings Trump down a notch is a good thing IMHO.

with national sporting events in the first place?

(excerpt)
We should put an end to national anthem tradition at sporting events

Oh say can you see the national anthem never being played again before another sporting event in this country?

Neither can I. But it is at least time to start thinking about putting an end to this long tradition of playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before every pro baseball, football, basketball and hockey game. And let's also include all college, high school and youth league games, as well.

Why?

Why not?
