Ex-NFL anthem protestor applauds Colin Kaepernick and athletes supporting him
"Before Colin Kaepernick, one NFL player silently protested the national anthem, and it was closer to the time that Tommie Smith and John Carlos made their protest, than to when Kaepernick made his.
But David Meggyesy, former linebacker, activist author and players'union executive, was alone among players back in 1968. Kaepernick has now been joined by a teammate, a fellow NFL player and, notably, U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe last weekend"
Ethics of Reciprocity
"This meeting will combine dialogue, testimony, and discussion with the aim of addressing the challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people in their lives and communities. Led by a diverse group of LGBTI religious leaders, teachers, and theologians representing a range of world religions, they will explore ways to end the violence and discrimination faced by LGBTI persons."
