We have reached the point where standing for the anthem and calling out those who do not is racist and divisive. Time for the Balkanization folks. USA had a good run. We are no longer united by common cultural norms. Why should anyone from a red state serve to defend citizens of blue states who hate them and what they stand for?

Relax. None of this really matters.

Think about it- if you are serving the country as an armed serviceman or first responder, why do you put your life at risk for these athletes, the NFL, and the enablers that openly disrespect your service? This is not going to end well.

Most don’t serve for those reasons anymore.

I had a cop in a well known speedtrap zone that was smart enough to admit he was no fool. I was in my scrubs on way home from working a swing shift about midnight on a Friday or Saturday. Cop handed me back license and insurance without as much as checking the expirations and said: "I'd hate to look up in the ER or OR and see you standing there saying how you remember me, drive safe, g'night".
Smart cop that was.

To be fair I like to think these folks are above pettiness like this BS.

Because it is your chosen profession to serve ALL Americans.
I don't agree with the kneeling because I don't know what they want. I'm no pissed about it because it is an expression of free speech. Our sudden fear of free speech from both sides is the truly troubling thing. If we don't get back to the point where we can disagree while defending those with disagree with right to free speech we are fricked. And it goes both ways. White supremacists have the right to assemble and peacefully protest just like those who oppose their ideas. Violence can't be tolerated but we don't have any right not to be offended....we do have the right to say what we wish no matter how stupid it is.

We don't have a single cohesive country anymore. Not even remotely close.
These divisions are only growing too.

America voted for Trump except for a handful of big cities.
Don't let the small few in charge control your understanding of reality. They create perception and all... and perception is reality... But not to those who pay attention.
97% of our landmass voted in change. The small handful of loudmouths don't speak for us all.

You frickers call for this every week for a different reason.
If y'all weren't millenials, you would have been self-sufficient enough to have already moved to your cabin in the mountains to work on your manifesto.

Oh, for frick's sake, a fricking president who thinks it's OK to insult a war hero and a gold star family is all upset because some football players kneel during the national anthem? Give me a fricking break.

Why the hell do so many people want to destroy our global advantages, and the wealth of American households?
Yes, I'd love to live in a new balkanized US where everyone is poor as frick and violent, trying to survive. That sounds really great. Sign me up.

Move to the South Side of Chicago then. That democratic stronghold is such a nice place to live

So you want all of us to start living like that?
If we break up the US the dollar and economy would instantly collapse. No one would be employed, we would have to go back to a bartering system for at least a few years. Lots of violence, many good people and good families would die.
But yay we got rid of all the liberals...now we get to live like those animals forever!

I can understand the desire for balkanization.
However, the problem with any form of secession is that it is a slippery slope that could cause more instability.
Think about it, if we split over this what is to stop more states splitting off for a myriad of reasons. Texas wants to leave cause it feels its carrying the tax burden. South Carolina leaves cause it wants more freedom over workers rights.
The list goes on, and the only real winners are Russia and China controlling a world with a fractured US.
