Yeah, Kap is a real thoughtful guy. His support of Che Guavara was particularly inspiring.

Its less support of kap and more support for their cause. People see kneeling while the anthem is playing as disrespectful, change your perspective and itll no longer offend you

Nah, its because the first sentence of his response to the question was that he would never disrespect the flag, which insinuates he thinks those who do kneel are disrespecting the flag. And its never been about that.



If they weren't trying to disrespect the flag, they would have stopped doing it when it became apparent that a large percentage of people had a problem with it.

Spitting on it, lighting it on fire, turning your back to it are all things i could see be determined as disrespecting the flag. Kneeling in prayer or rememberance, or in protest, doesnt remotely seem like disrespect to me


That's your opinion. I see it as blatant disrespect. Kaepernick's own quotes at the time agree with me:

quote:

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,"


He's clearly denouncing the flag/country.

Josh, you are entitled to your opinion. You aren't entitled to dismiss other's opinion. In fact, you'd be wise to LISTEN to what others are saying. It's ironic.

This is really sad. The greatest player this franchise has ever seen being treated like this because he said he respects the American flag. Drew, I know you are just being pressured into this by the terrible people you call teammates. But man you could learn a thing or two from Trump on standing up for what you believe in. frick Michael Thomas

Wait, what?

What about the people that see the flag as a symbol of those that serve and die, so you should honor it. They should have to change their opinion? Why not the protesters?

It’s simple

Some people think the flag stands for oppression so they kneel in order to not honor it. Kap said as such to start his protest

Some think it stands for those that serve and die. So they stand for it

Some are drunk and take a piss during it

Not sure why we are still fighting over this though


But one thing that isn’t arguable is the protest has the flag as a central theme. No clue how that’s all of a sudden being walked back

this is true then why is the kneeling being specifically done during the national anthem?


Because it gets people talking about the issues. Clearly it's working

Build that straw man

Obviously, anyone who disagrees must be racist.

Come back when you are capable of actually articulating a logical argument.

I listen, not dismissing it.
But ive been to enough saints games iver the last couple years to know its not that its done during the anthem thats the problem for lots of fans, its that they are kneeling period. Know how i know? Saints players go to the corner endzone and kneel before the national anthem, and are boo’d for it pretty loudly....why?

People see the flag as a symbol of everything our country stands for...equality, freedom, sacrifice of those who secured this.

Protesting the flag is insulting.

And, that was exactly why he did it. He wanted the controversy.
