Just because someone disagrees with the NFL knee benders, doesn't make them a Nazi or a Confederate.
Triggered? Good. Either there is a reading comprehension issue on your part, or just flat out willful ignorance. I was calling out a double standard. If you call out the persons kneeling, but you were either silent or excusing those involved in the Charlottesville incident, then you are part of the problem. You are the one promoting a double standard. I would have to assume you have less of a problem with what happened in Charlottesville than with Colin Kaepernick.
I've learned something. I've made some mistakes in the past. Hopefully I can learn from them in the future. One thing I'm learning is that some people I cannot debate. I have to teach them.
Disagree with their statement? Sure! That is absolutely your right to do so.
Calling them unpatriotic and unAmerican because they are using their rights which were have been defended by millions of Americans over the past 200 and some years? NOPE.
Let's be clear.
This is this "right" that you quote.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
Those guys are multi-millionaire celebrities using their status at the NFL to protest at a very visible event. They turned a NFL football game into their own private mouthpiece for their views.
People absolutely have the right to protest this. They are paying for the event.
People absolutely have the right to call them unpatriotic and un-American if those knee benders to choose to use their position to act unpatriotic and un-American. There is no logical argument to the contrary.

And people absolutely have every right to call them hypcroties for wearing flag apparel, using merchandise with the flag on it, booing the president during a 9/11 video tribute, responding to protesters with racial slurs, continually supporting their team even after they sign abusers and addicts and supporting Captain Bonespurs.
