Just want to make sure I'm clear on this. The guy protests racial inequality, and now the police are protesting his actions by refusing to participate in a pre game ceremony.

I posted this in 2017. One theory of quantum mechanics is the multiverse theory - which implies that somewhere there is a universe where Kap kneels, a Chinese nationalist catches wind of this occurrence and says to himself, “Gee whiz, if that happened in my country he would be punished for that, but what a great place this America is where a man can make a peaceful political statement.” And maybe, just maybe some politician would look into the data and make changes in the system.
But not in this universe of racist America.
