Is kneeling during the national anthem a powerful and persuasive soical movement?

I believe it is, its peacful and they are not killing anyone so yes.

Kneeling during the National Anthem:  There are many who also feel very strongly about the current racial climate due to feeling oppressed, marginalized, and maltreated in a variety of different contexts and environments.  The players who are choosing to kneel during the National Anthem are doing so to express a fundamental right of freedom.  This stance is an expression of freedom of speech as well as symbolic statement in an attempt to bring awareness and change to what they see as the current climate of racial inequality.  These individuals are not kneeling to be disrespectful, irreverent or unpatriotic; but rather, it seems that their actions are a representation of their desire to move towards social justice and change.

explanation:

paine is arguying that they had tried everything before coming to the conclusion that they needed to fight for their freedom.

argument: "every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual."

claim 1: "our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in kings more than repeated petitioning and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the kings of europe absolute."

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."
