The Separation
Durant refused to visit the White House to meet with the President. He was called unpatriotic by Foreman because of his actions.
Patriotism is good, as long as you stand for the right thing. One can’t help but wonder if Foreman’s tune would be different without Trump’s help.
If Trump hadn’t help out all those years ago what would he have to say?
Unfortunately that isn’t the case. A person would have to conclude based on their conscience.
Was Kevin Durant and Kaepernick in the right? Should Durant have taken such a stand? What about Kaepernick and his refusal to stand for the National Anthem?
Even now some have taken to protest on Kaepernick’s behalf. Despite doing so he hasn’t received any offers.
Many have stood behind Durant and support his decision. Does this in anyway make their choices correct?
Was it within their rights to object? What about Foreman, does he have a point?
There are arguments on both sides. Both parties have good points to support their decisions.
What might be more compelling are motives. Also what are the motives behind it all? What is given as the reason might not be the true motive.
Then are those motives justified? So many components come into play. What is certain, unless there is a change of attitude, nothing will change.
