Writing BLM is silent. The ink and the letters denigrate the cup, just as those kneeling denigrates the anthem. Both writing BLM and taking a knee are being used to promote the agenda of the SJW.
Or are you trying to pick apart an analogy for not being perfect, because analogies are not supposed to be a perfect fit.
Actually one act is done directly to you the cup/dollar when the other isn't. It's not that your analogy isn't perfect it's just a terrible comparison period
I didn't say I admired anyone so you fail in asking me about the KKK. They have the right to peaceful protest
And our military fights to maintain that?
Yes. They fight for that right, but that doesn't mean they endorse any of that speech, including the anthem protest, which has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

You nor they have to agree with the speech. It's not speech but rather a peaceful protest which is also fundamentally good about our country
You can add the media to that, if the media would just STOP already there would be no attention and it would go away.
IMO the biggest contributor to racial divide in this country is the MEDIA, you know what ever makes the ratings soar.
If Trump hadn't opened his big mouth, it would have died away too. But noooooo. The Dotard had to speak up and call them SOB's, thus the displays got bigger and they will get even bigger. More and more people are coming out against Trump on this. Even Trump supporters are against him.
A key plank of the conservative platform has always been that government should be small and it should stay out of the affairs of private business. With that in mind it is puzzling that Trump and his supporters are using the power of the federal government to interfere, harass and cajole a private sports league (the NFL) over their pre-game ceremonies. What player do or don't do is between them and their employers, right?
It strikes me as very hypocritical. The same goes for states rights: in a number of states both the voters and the free market have declared they want legal pot, but the federal government, especially Sessions, are refusing to condone it. So much for freedom!
Trump is using the power of the federal bully pulpit to harass and bully private business. And conservatives support that?
Conservatives say they cherish freedom and the free market -- but only in ways they agree with.
you really seem clueless as to what freedom of speech is, and where it fits into a civil society.
The people who bought tickets are customers, the game they attended was a product they purchased. The fans came to escape from their daily lives, to get away from politics, and the kind of crap these knee takers are inserting into the game. They did not spend money and drive all that way to be forced to watch a bunch of millionaire sportos acting out their social justice agenda.
These knee takers are abusing their position as players, exploiting their captive audience to force customers to watch their their SJW crap.

And our military doesn't fight to protect an employee from repercussions from an employer when that employee is doing something on the clock that could hurt the employer, correct?
Do you realize those people died for others to have the freedom to protest the anthem?
I do understand that. I clearly stated I do not believe players should be fined or fired for their beliefs as they have every right to protest.. however, I believe there are better ways to protest than this.

No our military doesn't fight for that
