Would it be better for player to continue protesting policy brutality, but in a different way?

Question

The kneeling got the attention toward the issue, but it created its own controversy. There seems to be three different groups of people in this.

1. Liberals and conservatives and people inbetween who support their kneeling and want to reform the justice system

2. Liberals and conservatives and people inbetween who support their cause but think kneeling is disrespectful

3. "conservatives" who just hate the players for protesting but use the kneeling as an excuse to hate the players.

So if they made something like their little towels or armbands to say "stop police brutality", would that go over better with people? The word is already out there as to why they're protesting, so now should they begin protesting in ways that more people like?

Where exactly will they protest it?

In their own houses?

In their backyards?

If not there, then where?

trump created the controversy.  Whereas there was only a handful protesting for social justice and change. trump united the entire NFL.

Most ridiculous group is liberals altogether.

Notice liberals NEVER get behind a legitimate issue.

Always some fony BS drivel.

Like the fake news "white racist cop stories" the liberal media keeps feeding them.

Or "Gotta destroy marriage so the hohos can be EQUAL"

Or Trump being mean to LBGTs cause the taxpayers dont want to be forced to pay for expensive selective surgery for them (as opposed to cheaper therapy).

Liberals chant "freedom of speech" ...but only for liberal;s. Try to listen to a conservative speaker, and they burn the campus down.

Is there ANYTHING in liberalism that makes sence at all?

Absolutely not. The people who protest only understand things from their perspective. The second you introduce facts they become hostile and combative.

Approximately 26% of the people shot and killed by police are Black men and women. The other 74% are White, Latino, Hispanic, and Asain. Twice as many White men are shot and killed by police. These facts are often disregarded because Blacks are 2.5x more likely to be killed by police. Yet if we look at crime statistics we can see that Black people also commit 62% of all robberies, 57% of murders and 45% of assaults.

Yes, this is freaking ridiculous.  They want to wear a ribbon, cool.  They want to all wear a color, like they do fro breast cancer awareness, cool.

In fact, these would be more meaningful, because they would be seen for a longer period of time, without being construed as disrespecting the United States.

If they want to protest something then they should do it on their own time.  Frankly, it would be more authentic to do it when you're not on the clock being paid by someone else.

Kneeling during the National anthem is not protesting against the police... it is blatant disrespect for our nation and is unacceptable to a vast majority of the American people.
