I still disagree with the rest of your post, and that the coaches should play any role in this. I think this is a players decision and should be.
But I apologize for confusing what was said by someone else.
EDIT: It was this post that I was thinking of "Not a fan of anthems and nationalism to begin with, but the knee is overdone. Time to find a new way to protest." which obviously had no relation to Dumba and where I had mixed things up. There was a different poster who specifically objected to Dumba's stance - but it was not you.

I was going to accept the apology but I see it's now been edited to justify your original comment. In that same thread on August 5th, you also not so subtly took lowball hit because I didn't have the same point of view. The above quote was to say that action needs to be taken, and players taking a knee wasn't front page news anymore. I explained that before but you found a way later in the tread to also imply racist views which couldn't be further from the truth.

At the time I brushed it off - you're a mod, you have the power to ban. But to say it twice now has really ticked me off. Especially your edit to justify your actions. In that thread after your post another poster accused me of being a bigot. And you let it go. How much of that was based on the implication you personally threw, we'll never know, but it's false and a low way of disagreeing with someone (to throw such a lie out). I don't have a face that someone can attribute this to, but my username will be tarnished in many posters eyes as a result of your actions. Furthermore as I've previously stated, I'm a visible minority, which shouldn't mean anything, but in this context it's a real kick in the face to imply multiple times I'm a racist, when I'm affiliated with the very groups you're not so subtly accusing me of hating. I've never posted anything hateful, have always posted from a point of view of a discussion, and always will respect others views. I know this isn't an endearing post, but when someone implies it twice (a mod nonetheless), and looks for the justification, it reflects poorly. Other mods have never done the same to their credit. It doesn't matter anymore if this sours my reputation with the mods, I just think it was a distasteful thing to paint someone as something that they are not, and I'm tired of it.
