    I wonder how many of these racist chodes would praise someone for kneeling during the anthem because their cause for it is that they believe the nation is in crisis because they believe there is a fake president in the White House because of fake votes.

    It has never been about the kneeling. It's about why they are kneeling.

    Many didn't seem upset when "Tebowing" was a thing.

    People aren't upset about drinking blood and eating human flesh when it is in the context of church. You cannot compare one to the other. I think it is sad that people have been duped by a false narrative, but they are welcome to kneel in my book. Not the same as Tebow though.

    True. Kaep was actually good at football.

    They're not upset because it's not real blood and human flesh.

    To a believer it is. The sacrament is transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ, it is not merely symbolic.

    It isn't the same. One was doing it out of virtue signaling their religion and the other was doing it to place a spotlight on a serious issue that effects other people and entire communties.

    I think transubstantiation is mostly just a Catholic belief. Protestants tend to fall somewhere on the spectrum of symbolism.
