These birthright patriots are no longer cozy in their white privilege which is why they want Trump to make America great again.

Tim Tebow takes a knee for Jesus, that's OK with Bubba Birthright and the Jesus weasels. Colin Kaepernick takes a knee for justice, and OMG!!!, it's an insult to America and everything it stands for.
Go complain about free speech and equal treatment somewhere else, this is 'Murica, land of the free and home of the brave.

Wonder if the timing of Tebow's gesture versus Kaepernick's had anything to do with it?
During an opening ceremony versus after a touchdown?

Afaik, Tebow was of course first with the kneeling gesture, and others have also made gestural religious tributes during a game.

Trump claims kneeling players hurt NFL attendance. Facts say otherwise.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...erwise-n824646
Trump claimed Tuesday that stadiums "are now having a very hard time filling up," building on a Nov. 20 tweet that attendance was “way down."
But that's not true, according to the NFL.
The league told NBC News that attendance is down just 1 percent from last year, which NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy noted was a “stellar” year and the third highest in NFL history.
McCarthy added that 98 percent of available tickets to all NFL games have been sold, with ticket sales down 2 percent over last year, in part owing to reduced seating capacity for the Los Angeles teams. Excluding those two teams, ticket sales are down 1 percent, he said.
