I wasn't even born then. They have as much relation to me as they do to you, which is none.

If this continues to gather steam and other advertisers stop advertising -- the NFL will be forced to do something about the national anthem circus side show.
People kneel to God when they go to church. Why is kneeling considered unpatriotic. Why are we even taught that.

I have never seen a group of more thin skinned snowflakes in my lifetime than the American conservative, and this group is not going to quit watching the NFL. Ever. So just keep crying, and advertisers will still keep counting their money.
You must have never been to or seen Berkeley CA or UC Berkeley students/professors then...

So glad to see this story posted here, I think a lot of the people who take issue with the kneeling are unaware of it.

Then why did they have to put it into laws that you couldn't protest within a certain amount of feet from a funeral going on because that was exactly what the Westboro Baptist church was doing, (personally, I am glad they passed this law though. Family just lost someone, don't need some scumbags making a scene while honoring the fallen)

And what about the Veterans and military that are offended by this?

And I doubt the credibility of this story. It's some more fake news. Everyone knows Kaepernick started to change when he began dating that girlfriend of his. His own parents even spoke of this... Enough said.
