I've noticed all the screams of disrespect from players kneeling during the anthem and it makes me wonder if people actually know the flag rules. We cant enforce some and turn a blind eye to others. Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have used the flag as a uniform which is against the flag rules. So is drapping the flag across a Budweiser can. So is carrying the flag onto the field horizontally. If we want to be technical, we shouldn't even be able to televise the anthem since all the cameramen should be at attention instead of searching the sidelines to see who isn't standing.

Well you don’t.

You can’t wear an actual flag. Or drape an actual flag around a beer can.

Your examples aren’t using actual flags to do what they’re doing.

It's not really the technical rules of the flag that causes the uproar.

It's the perception of what the players are doing and believe.

Judging from some of the shitty, faded, dirty, tattered flags I see flying, no, nobody knows any fricking flag rules.

Its the false meme that if you don't like what America is like 100% and feel the need to demonstrate solidarity with a black man shot for no reason at all then you don't respect the Viet vets.

I think anyone that would kneel for the national Anthem is a disrespectful piece of shite. But at this point I am just tired of all of the bullshite, I am sick of hearing about all of it.

Are the cowboys wrapping a US flag around themselves?

Players that kneel don't have a clue as to what the are doing.
