Why stop with a phone call. How about shutting the cmosny down and putting an estimated 1,100 veterans out of work.

Sorry. While I don't necessarily agree with the kneeling, it doesn't "offend" me. I'm not going to play the role of a Facebook mom and call this number and then copy and paste it as my status.

I'm not offended, nor do I feel disrespected.

Opposite for me. I don't care about when they choose to get on their knees, but the "message" is bullshite.

You're aware that these players have said numerous times that the protest is not to the military, right?

I find this hilarious from a company that exploits the flag to sell beer.

No because the opinions of people paid to entertain me are neither here nor there when I am watching them do their thing.

Fortunately, my sensibilities are not so fragile to the point that the opinions of others that will result in absolutely zero real world ramifications wound them.

While I personally agree, the whole controversy is rooted in people not following the flag code. My point was the hypocrisy of this company, who violates the flag code, currying favor with a group that is upset about the violation of the flag code.

The disrespect for our flag and the National Anthem has got to stop...As a veteran, I am terribly disappointed in the growing number of NFL players and the team owners,


Where did you copy and paste this from?

And are you also outraged about Trump disrespecting veterans like McCain?

When is the proper time and place for them to protest the things they see wrong with our country? Getting their message across on national TV, to me, seems like the perfect venue.

I'm a veteran too. I feel that if someone wants to protest the anthem in the silent way they do, that's their prerogative. They aren't making a mockery of the anthem or being disrespectful towards those who want to stand and sing.

Why does no one say anything about the fans laughing and holding conversations during the anthem?

Or the picture Aaron Rogers tweeted where all the camera guys were kneeling and wearing hats during the anthem.

I also don't know a single person who, while watching a game on tv, stand for the anthem.

I think people are making way to big a deal about something that doesn't affect them simply because they disagree.

As a veteran... Are you offended by Americans marching around waving Nazi flags and wearing swastikas? Because actual Americans died fighting in WWII.

How is kneeling disrepectful? When a player gets hurt on the field, other players take a knee as a sign of respect.

Therefore, I do not let it bother me at all. Do I show respect during the national anthem? Absolutely. Do I care what others do? Not at all.

It was not as big of an issue this past weekend, week 4. In week 3, it became an issue because of shite Trump said at a rally. In week 2, out of 1696 players only 6 "protested". It does not bother me in the least bit that budweiser advertises. I am not someone who get's offended over silly shite..
