Here lies the argument. U believe the anthem is sacred and I believe (after talking to several vets) that you can have a legal, peaceful protest during the anthem and it not disrespect vets but highlight the very thing those vets fought for.....and I understand not all vets may feel this way.

If a handful of black people think something is “racist”, that’s enough for their opinion to be recognized, and we kind of stop doing the thing that offends them - even if it’s ridiculous (using “guerilla” as an adjective during a sporting event, for example).

When over 50% of football fans think that kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful, we should have the same courtesy extended to us.

What happens when all of the paying customers stop being customers...and stop paying? Where were these asshats protesting during the off-season? All of this was built on a lie (Michael Brown, Alton Sterling) that police officers were out shooting black men for sport like a redneck shoots a deer. Now it's moved on the a protest against Trump and Charlottesville. These players are really overestimating their importance to society, and this is backed up by the empty seats and TVs that aren't tuned in to the NFL.
