Because people see the flag and immediately think of the military. It doesn't matter what the intention is if the wrong medium is chosen.

I see freedom...only jingoistic war mongers look at a flag and see military

Why is it considered being disrespectful to the flag?


Were you born in the US? Did you have any history classes? Did you even go to school?

I didn't say that they were. They think that they are. I don't agree with the players.

Rocket's red glare, bombs bursting in air, none of that brings the military to mind?

The left has gone apeshit with social justice. This is their "moral majority" moment. The best part is the Democrats will be out of power for a long time if they keep it up, or they'll be forced to abandoned the bat shite crazy wing of their party.

That’s all I want. One reporter with balls to ask them what exactly they are protesting and then have them give legit facts to back it up, not just herd mentality muh feels.

I really don't care about flags. Confederate or USA. Just symbols of something long past.

In theory. In practice, they seem to be tools for endangering more than protecting.

The American flag is something you should care about. It gives people the right to free speech and protest issues they feel are important. But the flag should be respected.

dumb frick, our military didn't even really fight for your freedom then, our military is a deterrent, that deterrent prevents us from being attacked, thus provides your freedom.

People fought to protect her since 1776, and I'm damn sure not going to let some pansy arse sports athlete disgrace her without letting them know about it.
