Hi, Charles Stephenson!

 CS> I'm not a footballer (but AM black). They are knealing to protest

 CS> them. 'they' feel as if ownership is showing favoritism to
 CS> the 'gifted' players, and as soon as they get hurt (and other
 CS> things) they toss them out like trash.

It seems such a situation is practically in any sport. People may admire at a
little smart gymnast, but if she looses her form because of getting a heavy
trauma she becomes unwanted in her team. Often rivalry inside the team is
bigger and merciless than during competitions.

 CS> I kinda understand, but at the same time They get paid ALOT of
 CS> money for what they do, and they know the situation...

If the matter is hidden inside the club, why they do their protest during the
American anthem?

Bye, Charles!
