Continuing our coverage of all things kneel-related, we bring you Craig Hodges. This former NBA player, and slinger of kooky conspiracy theories, believes the Donald is intent on taking America back to the slavery times. Yes, really.

I see. So, the outrage over NFL players disrespecting the flag is a cover. Trump's real goal is for the USA to party like it's 1699.

If anyone's stirring up a race war, it's the left. The media flings false narratives about racist cops murdering unarmed african american people of color all the time. Their only crime, besides strong-arm robbing convenience stores and charging a cop? Being black in public. Those fake stories are designed specifically to pit whites and blacks against each other.

To hear the players, you'd think Trump was oppressing them. No. Those teams are perfectly free to kneel. More importantly, football fans are free to tune out. There's no oppression at all, just sweet, sweet freedom.

None of the players are being stifled by Trump's irate tweets. The only people doing damage to the players' reputations? The players themselves. If they want the negative attention to go away, it's as simple as shutting their pie holes and putting the pigskin in the end zone.

Ease up, leftists. Not everything is about race.
