Colin Kaepernick gave a shout out to Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson II of the Miami Dolphins for taking a knee during the national anthem today’s home opener, but…
My Brothers @kstills and @ithinkisee12 continue to show their unwavering strength by fighting for the oppressed! They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated. Their courage will move the world forward!

…but, it looks like they were the only two players in the entire NFL who actually took a knee during the anthem:
The Dolphins were the only team in the league to continue the protest led by former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for a third season. https://t.co/sbXKeEMT7y

In other words, Trump is winning this culture battle:
Wow, NFL first game ratings are way down over an already really bad last year comparison. Viewership declined 13%, the lowest in over a decade. If the players stood proudly for our Flag and Anthem, and it is all shown on broadcast, maybe ratings could come back? Otherwise worse!
