Taking a knee
When Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem, some people lost their damn minds. That quiet protest against police brutality and systemic racism cost Kaepernick his NFL career.
Turns out Kaepernick’s big sin was being ahead of his time.
He tried to tell us something before we were ready to hear it and now we’re paying the price for not listening.

Hey, one of my heroes! I didn’t have the cojones to take a knee at the high school basketball games where I ran the shot clock for 30 years, but I always walked out just before the anthem so I wouldn’t have to stand for it.
And I still haven’t found any country that I would stand for. Hard to find a country that didn’t do despicable things in the name of freedom, religion, etc. Great cartoon!
Excellent!
