I think its more appropriate for special events like a sports all star game, International games (U.S vs a
foreign team) and Olympic games.
You think therefore it must be!

(what I just said makes as much sense as what you said. )
I think (since we are all thinking today) that you sounded less senseless.

At least the Nazi is willing to show his face. Anyone wearing a face mask in public is not only looking to start something, but a coward to boot. It's their way of remaining anonymous, just as they do hiding behind their keyboards and phones.

I'd sooner punch one of them considering they are more dangerous.

These are private businesses right? If you don't like it, don't go. Or ask them to meet your needs as a customer. Let the market decide.

"We should get rid of these statues"
"We should get rid of the pledge of allegiance"
"We should get rid of the flag"
"We should get rid of the national anthem"
"We should get rid of the USA"

Not going to happen no matter how hard the sycophants on the left try to remove everything about this country. Find another battle, you won't win this one.

Just the notion that certain people want some things changed for the better about America is really triggering the mess out of these people. Hilarious. I guess it really pisses people off that others aren't playing along with their Americana fantasy. The fact that they would rather metaphorically "burn it down" than to continue their desire to sing the anthem is also hilarious.


Someone in this thread called it "grandstanding". LMAO.
I believe it is not people are concerned by those who take a knee during a time honored tradition of standing for the national anthem. Their taking a knee is a sign of disrespect and they are doing it to push a political agenda which is the wrong time and place to do so.

It's not up to you when it is the right time to protest. You can not deny that these protests have gotten people's attention and caused us to talk about the problems.

They don't. They hate some of the things America is doing. Many of the things were things that "Conservatives" were once not long ago against.

Always the "wrong time and place" to protest.
