      How about no?

      Only non-witches get due process.

        I guess I'll just have to take solace in knowing the discomfort woke atheists feel when the black anthem gets to all the God parts.

          How about no?

          Would it be OK to kneel during it?

                I didn't watch, but fox reports no everyone agrees.

                Chiefs take field for the national anthem, 'Lift Every Voice and Sing'; Texans stay in locker room

                The Kansas City Chiefs were on the field for the national anthem and the rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” prior to the start of their game against the Houston Texans.

                Most Chiefs players stood, locking arms on the sideline for the national anthem. At least one Chiefs player knelt and raised a fist. Players locked arm-and-arm across the goal line for the Black national anthem.

                Texans players were not on the field for either “The Star-Spangled Banner” or the Black national anthem.

                "Lift Every Voice and Sing" will be played before each game during the first week of the season as part of the NFL's efforts on social-justice issues Chiefs players locked arm-in-arm in the end zone as the song played. The team went into the locker room after the rendition was over.

                  The booing was fascinating.

                    I must say I’ve not seen a clip just read about it.

                      Here is verbatim what I texted to my buddies who watch football:

                      Nice to watch football, hope it lasts this season! Gotta love the opening "end racism" theatrics that were immediately followed by an "indian chant" crowd sound (awkward) while watching two teams named for people who owned slaves (kansas indians and sam houston)

                        A shame... All they wanted was a really good symbolic gesture of unity and togetherness, signifying that we were one people no matter our race or ethnicity...That we have a common core of decency and goodness and believe that all men are created equal...

                        But some athletes chose not to participate in that unity moment by taking a knee...
