You people are insufferable. I'm sick of this even being an issue - these guys can demonstrate however they want; I honestly don't care. But the fact that some of yall get so worked up over this is pathetic.
I thinks it's disrespectful to our troops that serve. I lost a family member in Iraq... so frick Eric Reed, if that makes me pathetic then so be it

You're taking it wayyyyy too personally. He and a bunch of other players have a problem with being forced to stand for the anthem of a nation that they feel is rife with injustice. It has nothing to do with disrespecting soldiers.

Not everyone agrees, including plenty of us that served. Do we lose people we care about so we can villainize our neighbors who don't even mean the disrespect that we attribute to them?

Personally, I think hating people over a difference of ideas and symbols is a disrespect to those we know who fought and died for Reid's and all of our freedoms. We fought against that type of mindset. But that's just me. If hating him makes you feel better, have at it.

Everyone on this rant knows the kneeling is not about the flag or the anthem but the murder of black men in this country by the police. They find all of them not guilty. Let’s get real people

I don't see what this has to do with the troops.
