I remember you making fun of a navy guy's service earlier. If you drive an F250 and you're a liberal I'm 1000% sure that you are a 5'8" pussy

Why is it considered being disrespectful to the flag?
If you threw your wedding ring down the toilet in front of your wife would you be disrespecting the ring or your wife?

A wedding ring, like the flag, are just a symbol
They don't mean anything

Explain to me how anyone in America has no voice? I'm not a bigot, so I would never assume a specific group of individuals needs my help to succeed.

Exactly. The American dream. They worked hard, set goals, and they made it.

Exactly, so in essence you're disrespecting what that symbol stands for. Thank you.
So, according to our definition here the kneelers are disrespecting what the flag stands for.

No they're not...standing for the anthem is not mandatory. Kneeling during the anthem does not disrespect the flag or this country. To country bumpkins, it may though

Why do they do it? Honestly I don't understand their message or goal.

I'm not liking it because it is like the Kardashians taking a Political Stance. But they choose a Ceremony honoring Independence and Sacrifice on National TV. To me these are modern day Gladiators making a choice of Gladiator life that comes with big paychecks and priveledges. The whole exhibition Honors our Status as a Country of Wealth and 1st World Luxury plus first Recognizing the Sacrifices made by our Country Men and Women to secure these Priveledges. But instead one makes the choice to take that particular moment and make it about an agenda of an idea. These men never for the most part never made the choice to sacrifice life by serving their Country but relied on their Atheletic gift to get by.
I will recognize that there are a couple of prior service or current service members in the NFL.

Playing the anthem is demeaning. It's also stupid. Along with saluting a flag or pledging allegiance to a country. A lot of Christians crack me up when they love God on one hand and practice pagan idolatry on the other. As for the anthem It's racist at its core and outside of being a propaganda piece is completely out of place at an entertainment event. Should the anthem be played before each concert, movie, or TV show? If so. It should be played before the start of each event. If people truly love it they'll have no problem.

Would it even matter to you? Whatever the cause was, the muh flags crowd would be faux outraged anyway

Yes, it would matter much more if people understood their muh specific grievances.
Edit- I'm sincerely curious about what exactly they are protesting. Does anyone know?

How is the national anthem racists at its core?

No shite...but by your standard, former or active military opinions matter more than celebrity opinions. Which they don't, equal footing
