Argh, if we read one more tweet about players taking a knee at the NFL we may run screaming from the room … unless of course that tweet is included in a mini-tweetstorm where Ben Shapiro NAILED this whole ridiculous situation.
See for yourself:
If you kneel because you're "showing Trump," you're helping him: the flag isn't Trump, and he wants to identify with that symbol.

Bingo. Kneeling to do the opposite of what Trump wants actually plays right into his hands. He wanted this reaction, he thrives on the drama and division and he knew the Left would throw their usual temper tantrum.
Damned if they’re not consistent.
If you want to support the right of players to kneel, hold hands with those who kneel without kneeling yourself.

Double bingo. You can support their efforts without disrespecting America yourself; when did it become the new ‘thing’ to hate on America?
Kneeling for the anthem is wrong.
The president calling for those who kneel to be fired is wrong.
Both can be true simultaneously.— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) September 24, 2017
Triple bingo.
Kneeling during the National Anthem if you have a problem with America is your right, which is ironic when the reason you can do that is because you live in America. But hey, still your right, which makes what Trump said especially stupid.
Who knew both ‘sides’ could be so simultaneously wrong?
Oh yeah, we did.
Whoohoo 2017!
