re: Solution to the disrespect for the flag...

How about the solution being you try to understand why some people feel unsafe and disrespected. Otherwise, STFU about the players.

Hey, Tboy, you think they feel disrespected when their cashing that big arse check, libtard? You're part of the problem in this country!

Translation: We fought for free speech but I only believe in it when it comes to Antifa protesting some dude at Cal.

Under no circumstance should an American disrespect the American Flag. Soldiers have fought and died for that flag and it's a symbol of this country that should never be disrespected

Even better, do something about the BS that caused these athletes to protest the way are. Stop condemning and either get involved with police brutality or do nothing. But name calling and bitching about it the way people have turned into "disrespecting the flag," which it is not, will only make people go harder until they are heard.

It's real easy to say to people shut up and protest the way I want you to when you've never been in those shoes. Police are getting away with shite left and right and you expect people to feel like you since you haven't been touched by. There are a lot of good cops, but a ton of shitty cowards who find courage behind a badge and feel the need to prove it.

By the amount of threads started about it, I'd say the kneeling is working just fine.

Stop talking about it??

There U.S. actually has a flag code that outlines things like this. Turns out, players kneeling during the anthem doesn't violate it.

Taking a knee during the anthem while the flag is flying high is just as bad as turning your back to the flag. It's absolute disrespect.

A lot of people violate the flag etiquette, I see it all the time in my neighborhood. I don't say anything since I assume they have good intentions, though I have bought new flags for some people. I see it used in advertisement, "improperly" used on clothing and on disposable items. Most people have little idea about proper flag etiquette.

I personally don't see taking a knee as disrespect, it is availing themselves of a right the flag represents. Now putting on headphones and dancing or eating, drinking and talking through it (the latter I have seen a lot by people in the stands at events) that is disrespect.
