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!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
