Episode 83: Take a Knee to Take a Stand

This week, you’ll hear about Trump making it easier to tell federal employees “you’re fired!”, Kanye and Pusha T’s controversial album cover photo choice, and how 80s Babies are officially the brokest generation. In the 360 topic, Take a Knee to Take a Stand (36:46), Keesa & Djevna talk about NFL’s new policy requiring on-field players and personnel to stand for the national anthem. This new policy stems from the continued protests that started after Colin Kaepernick decided to take a knee to protest the poor treatment of minorities in the U.S. You can’t help but wonder if race plays a part when a fellow NFL player, Tim Tebow, was praised for doing the exact same thing. One could argue that they were both advocating for beliefs that value all life, so why was Colin’s kneel received so poorly?
