re: I feel sorry for any NFL Players that don't stand for the Anthem today

Has anyone considered that kneeling during the anthom isn't necessarily disrespectful?
Humans kneel before God to show respect. We kneel before kings and queens to show respect. We kneel when we ask for a woman's hand in marriage to show respect.
Kneeling is a form of deep respect.
Perhaps we're making a bigger issue out of this than is necessary. I don't think this is the first time players have kneeled during the national anthom. In fact, players routinely kneel during the anthom just because they're resting before the game starts.
The attention we're giving them is the problem. We're the reason everyone is talking about it because we simply won't ignore their stupidity. They are winning because we choose to lose.

I'm taking kneeling as a sign of distress. It's better than sitting (contempt), turning one's back (rejection) or raising a fist (defiance). It's not the proper way to show respect, but I can live with kneeling.

I feel the same way. Kneeling is respectful. They should sit to show disrespect.

I don't care if they stand on their fricking heads, its disrespectful

Flag Code says you should stand with headwear removed and hand over heart. Although no punishment listed for not following.
LINK amazing BBC had best article I could find on it.

hook too shiny brother.
when standing is the traditional show of respect, kneeling is the antithesis.
These BLM fricks simply act like bratty teenagers that need a country whipping with a belt or flyswatter.
