Again, I have to keep reminding people that the National Anthem was bgun at sporting events when we entered WWI and the desired effect was stoking patriotism enough to get citizens to rally around the war effort.

To think that kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful ignores that the sacrifices of servicemen/women guarantees the right to protest. I don't mind if folks don't like the protests, but calling them in-American is some kinda irony

I was just responding to his assertion that kneeling is a sign of disrespect to people who lost their lives in service to the country fighting for freedom.

Again, the irony is pretty big

How the frick is it supposed to encourage patriotism but parts of the song had to removed because of the racist ignorant lines? Regardless u guys have the entire narrative messed up. I can promise you these guys have all the respect in the world for the military flag and country but you cant tell someone like JJ watt who uses his platform to raise money, they are trying to raise awareness not hatred

Man, alot of these guys are kneeling after the Trump comments because that's what they think they should do, because there other Teammates are. It doesn't mean he hates America. . look at the Steelers, they didn't even come out for the anthem .besides there veteran lineman.there just trying to show unity in my opinion. I hate the crap,but there not all leaders man. These kids follow , just the truth

No, you are a dumbass, if you can't see the issue here. I love the fact this is gaining momentum and so many are outraged. Good. I hope ratings continue to plummet and they lose their opportunity to make huge sums of money in our capitalistic system.

Doesn't have a fkn thing to do with racism. It has everything to do with disrespecting the country that allowed them this incredible opportunity they have. If they don't like it...then gtfo. I applaud Jerry jones

There is no irony. You are black. It is obvious. The fact you ignore the big picture here says it all. Thankfully, this bs isn't going over well in mainstream America. I hope these guys straighten up or lose their jobs. This is the real world. You couldn't get away with whatever you want at a regular employer....the NFL better put a stop to this bs. Asap.

I served 6yrs, four of which was in a Ranger battalion. I've been in combat on several occasions and my best friend lost his life protecting American interests. So I get a little pissed when someone shits on his (and other brace men's) sacrifice.
While I respect every man's rights, I do not respect a man who disrespects the country that provides him the lifestyle he's living . You want to be a douche and disrespect our flag and national anthem? Fine, but do it on your own time and not at your place of employment...these men are paid millions to entertain, not to assert their political beliefs.
I'm sure my post will get attacked by some ignorant young punks on here, but until you pick up a rifle and defend our country, keep your condescending comments to yourself.

Shut the frick up, you obviously have no clue what the he'll you're talking about. Has nothing to do with disrespecting the country. Kap kneeled because of racism & injustices, don't try to reframe the narrative to support your agenda frick you bitch.
