So the question is

When people are taking the knee are they supporting the statement or the organisation?

I was under the impression it was the former.

If an organisation that you don't agree with co-opts a pretty generic phrase as its name, who gets first dibs?

Is it tiring constantly querying and arguing with the other interpretation when you know or suspect what the other side actually means?

*all above questions are rhetorical
