With every MLB player from the Yankees & Nationals taking a knee before the National Anthem in support of Black Lives Matter, many Americans are deciding to tune out sports completely.
Sherrie Hopper, KWAM co-host of ‘The Real Resistance’ tells ‘Wake Up Memphis’ with Robyn Walensky, It’s hard to find anyone willing to stand up for what they believe in.
“We’re just all in compliance, that’s what’s scaring me the most,” she says.
Jennifer Kerns, KWAM Host of ‘All-American Radio,’ tells ‘Wake Up Memphis’ the Left has been attacking the four F’s: “faith, family, freedom and football.”
“It is ludicrous,” Kerns says, “The Left has completely ruined sports, too.”
On ‘Free for all Friday,’ Walensky opens the telephone lines up to all callers, regardless of topic. Caller Teri from Desoto County tells Walensky she’s done with professional sports and notes an important detail being left out of the coverage of the story about members of the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals kneeling.
“They knelt ‘before’ the National Anthem,” she tells Walensky. “Aaron Boone, the manager of the Yankees, made it clear that the players were all in unity about standing for the National Anthem. It’s a small distinction, it’s still groupthink to take a knee, but I do think it’s an important distinction, they did it prior to the National Anthem.”
