What is meant by "kneeling during national anthem thugs"?
.
Over the past year there has been an MSM frenzy over whether major league athletes should respectfully stand on the field before the game starts, when the National Anthem is played over the loudspeakers.
Reason being, one Black football player, tattooed Colin Kaepernick, knelt on one knee while on the field lineup during the anthem, because (he later explained) he was protesting discrimination against Blacks, which he believes is implied in the Anthem (somehow).
Since then, others across the country, took to imitation. The NFL responded by announcing a new policy. And so it goes.

This is all in context of the Black Olives Matter movement.
