I don't care if people stand during a song while a flag is being waved... I just don't care

So today's two minutes of hate courtesy of our Main Stream Media Masters is that some professional football players are kneeling rather than standing during the singing of the National Anthem.

I confess that I could care less about this issue. There are actual people dying in the streets in the world. Whether over-paid sports celebrities kneel or stand for a song doesn't interest me in the least. What I want to know is how their protest or any action they are taking are actually going to solve the problem of too many people (whatever their race) being killed by others in the streets? Anything? Anything at all?

Well... if not.. it does not interest me. It just seems like silly bickering and posturing on everybody's part on this issue. Donald Trump can use it to score some points with his Red Meat base, and the football players can use their protest to raise their profile, maybe up their salaries and the Media can use this contreversy to sell advertisements on their broadcasts.

But what about the people who have actually been killed and their families? Where is the media on that?

Right... it's nowhere. Because we're not supposed to pay attention to what the protestors are actually protesting about... we're just supposed to be seduced by whatever nonsense the perfectly coiffed talking heads on TV News tell us to pay attention to.

I swear that this is the beauty of not even owing a TV set... most of the time you can avoid this sort of made up maelstrom.
