Country singer mocking National Football League protests goes viral
BRANSON MO NEWS: Country music legend Neal McCoy debuted the song – Take a Knee, My A*s (I Won’t Take a Knee) – during a concert in Branson, Missouri, last month to a relatively small crowd. So, no, this is not a money grab. I’ve been on 15 USO tours.”I think it’s something that some people are scared to step up and say something about it, but if you give them an opportunity to echo it through you then they jump right in”, McCoy told “Fox & Friends” on Sunday.A country music singer has taken aim at the NFL’s national anthem protests by releasing a new song addressing the topic that has been shared thousands of times on social media.In the same video, McCoy mentions Colin Kaepernick, the free-agent National Football League quarterback who in 2016 started the movement he says wasn’t meant to disrespect to the American flag or the military, but to protest racial injustice in the United States. “That’s what I’m about”.McCoy – whose first name is, again, Neal – opens with lightly fingered piano, acoustic guitar, and dabs of violins, over which he reminds listeners what he’s been doing on Facebook Live for 680 consecutive days: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America”.Recently, the country star also blasted GQ over naming Kaepernick its “Citizen of the Year”. McCoy posted a video of the song on his Facebook page.Take a Knee… My Ass! Maybe whatever he was trying to do, with civil unrest, maybe African Americans being treated wrong, or not equally, and some of that’s right.
