Kneeling certainly didn't win over hearts and minds then, and it won't do it now, so find another way that doesn't disrespect others' values...

Best I've heard to date was to simply not play, not take the field, do not take that game check and show true sacrifice and solidarity with ALL people who've been on the business end of police brutality...
