Occasional D Magazine contributor Joe Bob Briggs (aka John Bloom) writes a column for Taki’s Magazine. Today’s is about knees and football and the Dallas Cowboys. If you’re too busy or lazy to read the entire thing:
And now that I think about that Dallas Cowboys thing, they actually took a group knee prior to the National Anthem and then stood up in a men’s-Bible-study hand-holding formation when the song started. Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner, had said several months ago that he would fire any player who took a knee during the Anthem—exactly what Trump was asking him to do!—and so I guess they worked out some sort of take-a-knee alternate universe in which the pre-Anthem knee has no relationship to the during-Anthem knee. But if you’re taking the knee pre-Anthem, what are you actually protesting against? The pre-game warmup? The Audi commercial that everyone’s watching at home?
