Photos: Hollywood celebs #TakeTheKnee in support of NFL protests against Donald Trump

After President Donald Trump condemned athletes who kneel during the National Anthem, Hollywood vowed to #TakeTheKnee on Twitter in support of the protest.

The social media call to action was sparked by POTUS' insistence on Friday that anyone protesting the American flag at athletic events should be "fired." In response to Trump's weekend-long swipes at the NFL, athletes and coaches across the country kneeled, locked arms or just plain stayed in the locker rooms during the singing of the National Anthem at their Sunday games.
"If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast," Trump tweeted again Sunday morning. "Fire or suspend!"

As a football fan, I am proud of the NFL players today. Nothing is more American than the right to peacefully protest.
A truth that  will not acknowledge, is that  a knee is not about disrespect for the flag. It's about protesting police brutality.
I am watching football today out of respect for all these players. Good for you @Kaepernick7 for starting a movement. Black lives matter.
The sports community is brave and serious about taking real risks to defend essential American values. We should all be so bold. 
One of the great things about our country is that we can protest in peaceful ways without fear. God Bless America!
I love seeing all these athletes  & the momentum @Kaepernick7 has started. I like this America. We're not sheep.  
I don't watch much football, but I'm going to tune into today because, well, that asshole in the White House told me not to.

Colin and all other members who denounced these comments are great patriots who seek to improve their communities through their visibility
The idiots in the White House are corrupt bafoons who insult the meaning of freedom with their bigotry, fear mongering and greed. Good day
