(50,922 posts)1. Everyone keeps saying this but the last thing we should do is co-opt Black Lives Matter's protest.
We SHOULD take a knee, but we should do it in honor of Black Lives Matter.
And we should come up with our own protest for Women's Rights.

be it for Football or Baseball, or even a ICE HOCKEY arena, its hard to take a knee on Cement or what ever that hard, hard floor is.. Its not like planting your knee on astro turf or grass. Maybe it be better to stay seated.
