One of the over twenty San Francisco 49ers players who knelt at the game in which Mike Pence picked himself up an walked out has a new reason why the National Felons League thugs are protesting the anthem. It’s all because the anthem represents “systemic oppression” or something. Reid also blamed Pence leaving the game on “systemic oppresssion” too. Eric Reid is so oppressed that he makes $5,676,000 for playing in 16 NFL games this year. Wow. Dude is a real victim.

National anthem protests across the NFL began last season when former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who remains without an NFL job, refused to stand in protest of racial inequality and police brutality. His former teammates have continued to take a knee during the national anthem this season.
Eric Reid, a 49ers safety who knelt alongside Kaepernick last season, reemphasized earlier this year and after Sunday’s game that kneeling for the anthem is not designed to disrespect the military or the flag. The act is designed to press for equality and tackle what Reid says is “systemic oppression.”
I’ll say this for Eric Reid. You play for the perfect team in the perfect city to push you oppression BS. Only in a place like San Francisco could you ever be taken seriously.
