Is the National Anthem playing when these events occur?
I have seen quite a few proposals. Never saw one while the National Anthem was playing.
Of course you didn't get that the point is that kneeling is not disrespectful in any of those actions, so it's not arbitrarily disrespectful when a song is playing in the background. Really shouldn't be a difficult concept to understand, even for the most remedial.
Right over your head, like everything else.
And you never cited any proof of your previous claims.

Goofy logic.
Kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespectful to our Armed Forces and to the Flag. Several people have posted links showing the proper protocol (for our Flag and our Anthem) & you have chosen to ignore them. (because you disagree with the info in the links.)
Stop calling people stupid when they don't agree with you. (Most US citizens know that kneeling during the playing of our National Anthem is disrespectful to the Flag & our Armed Forces. And if they don't, they should.
Not wanting to be patriotic doesn't give one the right to be a **** and to be rude to someone who is patriotic (& who disagrees with you).

It's disrespectful? According to what rule or law?
That's what I thought. Arbitrary. You learned a new word today.
Spare me your fake patriotism. "Proper protocol" that no one cares about until black athletes started kneeling.
No one will call them stupid if they stop using remedial logic.
Just because fake patriots get their ***** in a bunch over it, doesn't make it disrespectful.
And oh yeah, still no answer from NFL boycotters on if they'll be boycotting businesses and individuals who actually violate flag code.

I got the point. Clearly, mine went over your head.
Apparently the police officers at Miami refused to provide security for the spectators at the Dolphins game because three players took the knee. At least the players played the game they get paid to play, while the officers put the lives of the taxpayers at risk to play politics.

You have no point.
A Green Beret told Kaep kneeling is the best way. Many cops and vets back him.
Disrespect = arbitrary
None of you boycotters have addressed if you'll be boycotting/complaining about others who actually violate flag code.
No argument. No point. Move along.

Miami, huh?
You think those police officers refused to back the PD of the officer who shot the social worker who was consoling his patient that someone called 911 on? The guy who was on the ground with his hands up? The guy who was told by the cop that he didn't know why he shot him? The guy these police officers swear to protect?
It really is simple. If the players want to kneel in protest then fans can boycott the games in protest. I haven't watched a game this year and don't plan to either. I was tired of the stupid celebrations for every tackle made, every catch made, and every other event on the field. This kneeling none sense is just one more reason not to support the NFL.
College games are more exciting to watch anyway.
If we overturn the need for cash bail to appease the demands of the black community would we actually be condoning their desire/ need to steal in the first place?
It doesn't make sense to change the rules to make a criminal action acceptable.
This seems to be the million pound elephant in the room. With all the uproar about how suspects are treated, why is there never any mind played to why they are suspects in the first place? BLM will immediately play the race card but the reality is that the vast majority of suspects with their face pushed into the pavement were doing something illegal or suspicious and then would not cooperate with police instructions.
A lot of this movement seems to be directed at 'forgiving' transgressions or looking the other way because minorities are 'victims of society' and 'deserve' to be cut a break. But that's not how things work. In this world you get what you put into it. You need to work hard and make proper decisions, you make your own 'privilege' in life
