The Cats were looking to make a statement in Florida today. The statement started in pre-game when players and coaches took a knee during the playing of the national anthem , showing their support for the fight against racial injustice.  The show of solidarity seemed to pay off after the horn sounded , as the Cats went on to play their best game of the year in trouncing the Gators. Florida guard Scottie Lewis also took a knee.

What are your feelings on the Cats taking the knee?  Btw, this is the first game this year the team has appeared while the anthem was played. In previous games, the team remained in the locker room during the playing of the anthem.  How do you view the Cats' pre-game actions.

I will go on record as saying I have no problem with it at all. It is obviously an issue that means a lot to the young men and the staff showed support for their players by joining them. Thumbs up from me .

My best friend in the world is a flaming liberal.  I asked her about this situation, and her reply was much like your's.

I respectfully disagree.  I firmly support peaceful protests and have been a part of them myself, but never EVER in a disrespectful way.  The National Anthem, to me anyway, represents my country and my freedom and should NOT be a political platform for ANY reason.  I am very disappointed.

In today's world there are thousands of platforms on which to voice your protests and opinions.  Social media offers literally hundreds of platforms, reaching thousands of people.  I disagreed when Kaepernick did it, and I disagree with it now.
