I don’t disagree with you. He made a stance and he has to live with the consequences of it

It doesn’t matter whether or not the intention was to disrespect troops. Protesting during the anthem was in poor taste.

Honestly, my biggest issue is with the networks/media for making this an issue. They should have just stuck to football.

Both very valid points. The media went nuts which was/is still so annoying.

The flag was a risky option to go in in the first place and then they made the mistake of pushing their luck too far by continuing to do it after the firestorm that ensued

And while I feel like I understand his frustration, you can’t group everyone into a broad category like that. So yea that was for sure misguided
