    You're entitled to your opinion. But no one should be kneeling during the anthem...
    Nate Boyer, btw, just got Kaep and friends and their rears off the bench...which was even more disrespectful...he told Kaeprnqick that had he noticed anyone sitting on the bench when he played, he would have been hurt...His reason for the suggestion to kneel was only to get the players to stop sitting during the anthem....you can read about what taking a knee means to him as a soldier and a man.
    "We sorta came to a middle ground...."
    Kudos and thanks to Nate Boyer for his service and his suggestion.
    But now, it's not going to be an issue anymore...
    (Nice try...Twist away any time you like...it's no big deal

    People don't want to see a bunch of SJW/BLM sympathizers disrespecting the flag while trying to watch a sport.

    Good on the NFL, finally listening to their FANS not the elite media.
    Keep changing the names. It doesn't change the meaning.

    To call you an imbecile would be unfairly insulting to imbeciles.
    Demanding that citizens act a certain way toward political symbols is authoritarian.

    Of course a person has the right to not do either, but if they are not showing the proper respect to our nation's great symbol of freedom, they're disrespecting those who have sacrificed so much for the very freedom they have to protest...
    Stay in the locker room, guys and gals if you feel the need. The majority of Americans will be standing tall, hats off, hand over their heart and singing loud and proud...
    Good to see that you finally admit to supporting authoritarianism demands about symbols. Kim will be so proud of you.

    I'll be particularly happy to see no more "taking a knee" at games where children are the participants...
    I would be particularly happy if the government and the military stayed out of sports altogether.

    Like hate crime legislation that criminalizes the display of certain symbols?

    Don't go to the games...and don't watch until the first three-five minutes are over. That was easy...

    Are you equating hate crimes and their symbols with our nation's flag and symbols?

    FTR I never said hate symbols should be criminalized.

    Too late. I already go to games and sit through the anthem. Same with watching on TV. Do you stand at home during the anthem? I bet not.
