National Anthem - will anyone "take a knee"

[The Sultan]

with all the controversy in the NFL / USA at the moment in regards to player refusing to stand for the national anthem do you think there is any chance what so ever for a player/s to "take a knee" during the national anthem at the start of the GF.

Going by the other thread a few might to protest the inclusion of that upstart sheila Daisy Pearce on the NS Voting Panel.

Only if Harry O was playing probably.

 

[BF Tiger]

I thought this thread was about Sam Mitchell.

 

[Partridge]

Only if Harry O was playing probably.

That would delay the game I'd suspect.

He'd be asking 98,000 people to apologise for various things that offended him.

I'll ask the hooker how much extra for her to knee me

I heard a conspiracy theory that the whole "take a knee' thing was engineered by the NFL to distract attention from all the concussion scandals they've been having.

 

[keithrichards]

What would they be protesting?

That's a pretty dumb conspiracy theory.

We dont have the violence they have in the states, nor a dictatorial loon in charge.

If Toby Greene made it he might have given the boot instead of a knee.

Trump distracting from the failed repealing of Obamacare (again) makes more sense if you want a conspiracy theory.

Why do we have these political and SJW threads on the main board every second day? FFS it's the grand final today. Who ******* cares

This is such a bigfooty post.

Complex issue dealing race inequality, patriotism, and how to peacefully protest. Nahhh conspiracies brah.

Agree with others. Trump is not our president, so what would they be protesting by doing it during our anthem?

 

[Partridge]

That I can respect.

The anthem really should be "We're Knights of the Round Table".

 

[MisterMarcus]

That's a pretty dumb conspiracy theory.

I didn't say it was a smart one!

 

[Mningasimisonda]

On the other hand, it might be a way for the Tigers to surprise the staring Crows.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Hopefully.

You'd hope so. It's about time someone starts a discussion about race relations down under. Specifically in the white male monopolized AFL.

We've been progressing towards this... Changing the date for instance...

FWIW, the protests are not about Trump.
