I haven't been following this protest closely and before today I hadn't seen any photos of it, but now that I have I have to ask, why are all these players copying Tim Teabow and kneeling in supplication to something they apparently object to?
Surely the most appropriate thing to do would be to turn their backs, not take the universal symbol of supplication and submission and make it look like they are unworthy worms grovelling in the presence of the mighty American anthem.
Does anyone know where this idea originated from, because it seems like another 4Chan prank where they plant the seed of suggestion in the minds of a few gullible idiots and laugh as people do something that is the opposite of what they think it means.
What's next? Kowtowing in front of police officers to show them that you don't respect their authority? Licking the boots of white supremacists as a symbol of defiance?
