Poll of the Day > US Women's Soccer Team will STAND for the ANTHEM cause they are DONE PROTESTING

(+) Yeah! (+)

For the first time in 2021 and since a year for that matter, the United States women's soccer now have now ALL STOOD for the country's national anthem as they said they are now OVER the protesting phase!!

They said their decision to now stand rather than kneel over racial inequality and police brutality is not the end of their fight for justice despite now standing as they still wear jackets that say "Black Lives Matter".

US Defender, Crystal Dunn said no vote was taken to stop kneeling but rather it was a collective decision by a team ready to move past the protesting phase

Dunn said "I think those that were collectively kneeling felt like we were kneeling to bring about attention to police brutality and systemic racism. We decided that moving forward we no longer feel the need to kneel because we are doing the work behind the scenes. We are combating systemic racism. We never felt we were going to kneel forever, so there was always going ot be a time we felt it was time to stand"

Kneeling became a symbol when it was started by Colin Kaepernick and then Megan Rapinoe. But it became a political firestorm when Donald Trump demanded these players be kicked out of the field for their disloyalty to america as sports organizations tried to strike a middle cord to the kneeling but eventually became widespread support after the death of George Floyd

Do you think the kneeling for the national anthem should "end"?

Past a point, you need new messaging, otherwise people tune it out and become indifferent. Kneeling during the anthem was a good form a peaceful protest though. It got attention without violence, but the only thing that will enact actual changes will be something like mass general striking. Statistically, something like 3% (IIRC) of the total population just refusing to do literally anything is enough to create massive changes. The problem is that the oligarchy has left just enough in the hands of the vast majority so they feel they have something to lose and just remain worker bees.

are you going to doxx them too?
