Are kids transferring in the other sports anywhere near the level of football?

Honesty hard to say because the only transfers that get attention is football plus rosters of 15-20 vs rosters of 70

 

Football will always have more transfers just because of a much larger roster and most only cover transfers for football and not other sports

While i don't agree with how they did it they have a right to peaceful protest which is guaranteed in the First Amendment 

 

Keep in mind our founding fathers did what was considered "disrespect" but they did it to get fair treatment and they did it for the right reasons

 

While kneeling during the anthem may not have been most respectful option they weren't doing it to be disrespectful to the military, they were doing it for change and in their heart they feel what they are doing is in good conscience 

 

Also remember it was a military member who first suggested that kap kneel because kneeling is considered more respectful then sitting during the bench

 

I remember what the cowboys did when they stood and locked arms during the anthem but kneeled before and after the anthem to show they weren't protesting the flag or the military 

Founding fathers?

The other day I saw an amazing football game:

 

1) The player's hair fit under their helmets.

2) No tattoos could be seen.

3) There were no outlandish end zone celebrations.

4) There was no taunting.

5) Opposition players helped each other up after a play.

6) Footballs were not spiked or left for the referee to retrieve; they were handed to the referee.

7) No one took a knee on the sidelines.

8) Players stood at attention during the playing of the national anthem.

9) It was great to watch an Army/Navy game.   

So this must be when Jim Crow laws was in

Don't get on his case, Zoe. It is what is taught in school. I feel Columbia's argument in his post is reasonable, given the circumstances.
