If you support anti-Americans you have that right. I have the right to support Americans who love this country and would in a heart beat stand for the flag.

What they are is lib-tards with a lack of self respect trying to gain power based on lies and the victim card.
The real issues, that they have, are blocked by their own ignorance and disrespect for others.

I know a conservative student who did not get their masters degree because the school didn't like the conservative thesis he wrote. They expelled him when they fought against his conservative view in politics. This is what it is coming to.. brainwash the students and if they don't relent they are expelled.

One of the NFL players interviewed on tv this morning gave this reason for the protesting: "Uh, it's because blacks are abused by the police and racial issues . . . oh, and yeah, what Trump said." Not verbatim, but you get the drift.

Therefore it's about police brutality and racial issues - and as an afterthought he throws in President Trump for good measure.

Truth be known, if you interviewed every player than refused to honor our flag and our country I doubt that the majority would have any idea why they're doing it, other than the old "To get along, go along" mindset, and "Let's not made the NFL owners mad or I may get kicked off the team".

And of course the liberal-biased media was foaming at the mouth to jump on the bandwagon . . . any excuse to bash our President.

Thank goodness President Trump is Caucasian - no worries of being called RACIST!!

It's a shame in that the kneeling protest has been hijacked by this debate about disrespecting the military. When Kaepernick started doing this last year he was in his own words trying to bring attention to unethical police practices. It was never intended to be a stance against the Armed Forces.

You previously said they were required to pledge allegiance. Now I'm not sure what you think you believe. Do you stand when it plays on TV? Or when you start work everyday? If not, you're a hypocrite.
