Celebrating victory for lots of millionaires means a whole whole lot when you can't afford to cut your hair Take the knee in protest it shows you really care while banking every dollar why you're paid to even be there The rhetoric and semantics complexities of words actions meant to mean something misconstrued distorted and/or blurred Let's gauge the effect what has been accomplished is life better now or is it all still just a wish

I don't know if you care, but the media is having a feeding frenzy over a knee once more. It used to be ya got an opportunity to go to the white house to celebrate your victory in a difficult accomplishment, it wasn't about politics it was about being victorious, Presidents didn't use it as a political platform, merely a celebration regardless of affiliation or opinion. It's been polluted by people who would rather make a meaningless statement without merit or actual impact IMO :)
