   Hi, Charles Stephenson!   
   I read your message from 30.07.2019 05:16   
      
    AK>> Well, I can imagine that I am a black footballer, but, anyway, I   
    AK>> don't understand the logic or the language of the action. I   
    AK>> remember from books that if a knight knelt before something he   
    AK>> showed his respect to it.   
      
    CS> I'm not a footballer (but AM black). They are knealing to protest   
    CS> (Like what Mark said) how the ownership are treating some of   
    CS> them. 'they' feel as if ownership is showing favoritism to   
    CS> the 'gifted' players, and as soon as they get hurt (and other   
    CS> things) they toss them out like trash.   
      
   It seems such a situation is practically in any sport. People may admire at a   
   little smart gymnast, but if she looses her form because of getting a heavy   
   trauma she becomes unwanted in her team. Often rivalry inside the team is   
   bigger and merciless than during competitions.   
      
    CS> I kinda understand, but at the same time They get paid ALOT of   
    CS> money for what they do, and they know the situation...   
      
   If the matter is hidden inside the club, why they do their protest during the   
   American anthem?   
      
   Bye, Charles!
