The Power of a Bent Knee

I've never qualified as a sports fan (unless you count Buffy the Vampire Slayer fight scenes as a contact sport), but current events have made me much more aware of all kinds of things and people about which I used to be totally ignorant. For example, I now know who Colin Kaepernick is...and I'm glad I do. He is courageous, maybe even heroic, and in the most peaceful of ways he has reminded us of what is right, what it means to be American, and what our constitution guarantees us. By kneeling he has stood for human rights. He has inspired reflection, dialogue, and peaceful activism. Still not quite a sports fan, but I have definitely become a Kaepernick fan.
