In countries, like my birthplace Cuba, afflicted by communism, taking a knee comes not from the freedom of protest given by your First Amendment Rights, but instead, comes as a last plea to God, just prior to being executed
As you all might have noticed, a recent headline news was the story of President Trump disinviting the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles from a planned White House celebration of the team’s Super Bowl championship – a celebration which has now become sort of a tradition. Less than 24 hours before the players were expected to arrive in the Rose Garden, Trump made his announcement.
Trump’s decision came amid some Eagle players saying they would skip the ceremony in protest to the president and his rhetoric – a movement which started with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, as the latter pioneered sitting down and/or taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem. Trump’s righteous decision to uninvite the players, not only was a gallant “first-ever” but, just as well, opened the gates for a flood of disparagement and condemnation from the left in the nation, which, then again, should come as no surprise whatsoever, as, no matter what Trump does, even if he were to make every American wealthy tomorrow, liberal-democrats – a term which to me is synonymous with “Marxists / communists”, would find something off-beam with the man. What else is new, I ask?
