The kind of people who get upset over kneeling during the anthem are the same ones who face-paint when they go to sports games.

I don't understand any rabid support for a symbol.

but they would still be on film doing it the one time and everyone would be calling YOU and your family all types of names.

kneeling isn't disrespecting the flag. The flag represents/protects freedom of speech.

That kneeling is bothersome to anyone shows how backward society is...

If you think that kids are too young to know what it "means" to kneel during the National Anthem, then aren't they also too young to know what it "means" to stand for it?

what exactly is the other side of the issue that racism is bad? Racism exists in our country. Pretending otherwise would be a lie. That doesn't mean that protesting the existence of it is the same thing as saying that "America is a bad place full of racism" - again, that is just the RWNJ blogosphere spin on it.

But wait, I thought children weren’t affected by things they saw on TV? Violent movies and video games don’t cause school shooters, right?

What does this have to do with kids kneeling when they have no idea why they are doing this?
