(2,199 posts)Keep jabbing trump in the eye over his stupidity. Protest and bring up the issues that we are not a united country, that racism is prolific in the USA and that as a nation we are better than our racist president. This 38 year ArmyVeteran does not feel insulted at by your actions of taking a knee to fist in the air. Well done NFL players!
