[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that "taking a knee" now is no longer about the flag, it's about the president. To everyone who whines about athletes disrespecting the flag, I respond, "no, they're disrespecting Trump. As is their right as citiziens. And, by the way, he deserves it."[/quote]

They can say it's about the president, but they are thumbing their nose at the flag and the country.  This is not the way to protest the president.  They are essentially giving the finger to the flag and those who fought for it.

You can try to spin it--but that is what they are doing.

That is what Kapernick did, as well, when he was protesting the police.  Go out and say whatever you like, but he gave his finger to the Americans who fought and died for him.[/quote]

Yes.

On the note of K and the nfl, the nfl has a league regulation that all players are to stand repsectfully and quietly on the sidelines with their helmet by their sides when the national anthem plays, or be subject to fines and/or suspensions, even on first offenses.  This should have been shut down day one.[/quote]
