It’s all easy to say something like “the players have put it behind them, so let go”. But look at the fight that happened at the Florida HS football game this weekend that was basically started by differences of opinions about respecting the flag and kneeling for it. It’s hard to “let go” for some when it is seemingly shoved down the throat by sports figures all the time on social media. Some are sick of athletes like LeBron James making statements about inequity from their Ivory Towers. Frequently those shouting “Let it go!” are the people that got it the way they wanted.

Sounds like that may have been influenced by parents teaching their children through their own behavior to be intolerant.

Sad.

I think Boston made a solid point. Yes it may have come from parents but it also comes from other influences such as sports figures, politicians, media and yes, online message boards.

Those kids aren't following "politicians, media and yes, online message boards." Mom and dad are.

Teenagers decide the narrative of social media. At this point, they ARE the influencers.

Sure they are. Why do you think politicians are pushing to lower the voting age.

Maybe. It’s also possible they could have been influenced by BS social media influencers and bias coverage that clouds young people’s minds with false ideas.
