They were just as wrong then.....if thats true.
I don't recall Tebow being "destroyed" for taking a knee. He's a horrid quarterback. But he's doing financially well and is on national NCAA pregame shows. He's nice kid.
I'm not much for public displays of "faith" but Tebow was more or less apolitical.
I remember some bitching but I dont recall the destroying either. I was wondering if it was because he sucked or if he was praying. I thought if it was because he was praying then that was no ones business.
I grew up in Denver, and my dad had season tix. I'm still a fan, and visit family from time to time .... The Tebowmania from some religious types grated some the wrong way. Who cares if the qb is an atheist Zionist jew. Can he throw a pass. Tebow cannot pass. LOL
But the knee parody was, imo, in good humor. He's a nice kid.
Kapernick is an easy target for racism. Even if you agree with the underlying issue of something being amiss in criminal justice, the guy is making millions for essentially playing a game. The avg price for a single game tix is a hundred bucks, before tax, parking and concessions. That's gonna grate the wrong way.
Trump needed a distraction. He threw out a lot of shit in his Ala speech, and this shit stuck to the wall. It's not the first time he's done this.
