Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 1794752, member: 5798"] A prediction.....................As time goes on, [B]don't be surprised[/B] to see more and more athletes from other NFL franchises along with players from different sports join Kaepernick by taking a knee during the national anthem. Others have joined him, and others will soon follow. As long as the news media (print and electronic) continues to make his actions their lead story of the day, this will continue. Personally, I'm tired of hearing about it. [B]I have no problem with him taking up a cause (any cause) if he believes in it.[/B] That's his right to do so. I just don't need to hear about it everyday. It's been covered ad nauseam already by [U]every media outlet[/U] in the country. Enough already. His taking a knee during the national anthem will continue have have life and legs as long as the media continues to give it to him. When I tune in to a sports talk radio program, or a sports program on TV, I want to hear about sports (scores, opinions, replays and coaches interviews), not about someone's personal crusade that doesn't have anything to do with sports. If the media event producers would stop showing him kneeling, and stop making it their lead story at the beginning of [U]every TV sports program[/U] (ESPN, NFL network, etc.) everyday, it will lose steam. [B]"Out of sight, out of mind". [/B]If the cameras [U]had not[/U] shown Kaepernick kneeling on the sidelines during the anthem, and no one reported it, would we have known about it? [/QUOTE]
