Anyone mind to explain an outsider some stupid question please?
Why is this "famous people kneel down to protest" a big thing right now?
Is it because Trump is pissed about it, or is it because some websites make it big to generate clicks?
I mean america been always protesting against something. Just like France.
"99% vs 1%"
"Black lifes matter"
"bring back twinkie's"(?!)
"more guns"
etc.
And at each protest there been some hardcore pro and hardcore contra assholes, but overall its been always a "nice" debate about some topic.
But this time it seems to be diffrent and I am not sure why.
This isnt the first protest against an president right?

Failed QB Colin Kaepernick did it last year to try to stay relevant another few weeks. He kneeled during the national anthem to protest perceived police brutality in Ferguson, MO (proven to be false).
Others jumped on the bandwagon, essentially disrespecting the national anthem to promote whatever political agenda they had at the time.
Now everyday blow-Joe Americans, combat veterans, and others are pissed off because of the players' disrespect of anthem and country, and the stupid comments coming out of the leagues management and out of the offices of some of the owners adds fuel to the fire.
The whole thing started out stupid and lack of leadership has led it to getting out of control, to the point that people are cancelling NFL TV packages this week at a record rate.
The NFL was starting to die anyway. Now its end is coming fast. Bring on professional soccer.
