The double standard at it's best.
What double standard? Tebow didn't kneel during the National Anthem!

All of them are kneeling for something they believe in. Preferring one over the other is inherently a value judgement of the cause for which they're kneeling. Especially in light of the attacks all of them have received for making a statement in what some (many?) judge to be an inappropriate venue.

I'm not sure you can make a logical argument that Kaepernick and those inspired by him should be derided for making their statement while lauding Tebow for making his. The optics of the racial divide don't especially help, either.
