It doesn't matter if I would or wouldn't because I have no intention of intending nor does it matter who wins or loses to me. I have no desire to attend any games or support the corporate-wall st cause.
NFL and Patriotism are in fact mutually exclusive. Crony capitalism and the NFL, not so much. Kid Rock is a salesperson. He must of got it from his daddy. Good for him.

While I disagree with some thing Kaepernick said he is still one of the most charitable rich people in the USA, donated tons of money to poor people in places like Ghana and Somalia. I would have a problem if he disrespected the pledge or flag but quietly kneeling to bring attention to what he views as problems is not something I will criticize. It's not like he stomped on or burnt a flag.

For most people, standing for the anthem is a way to show your appreciation to our troops and first responders. It's a visual "thank you". Those people, of which I am one, view the failure to stand as a "I don't really care about the troops and first responders enough to stand for two minutes" statement.
I will never get the outrage over CK not standing for the anthem.
Who gives a damn?
If his contract doesn't require it, who cares???
You'd think he was shooting kittens.
Come on.
Totally agree.
I also don't understand why people would be more outraged over an athlete disrespecting an American song than a president disrespecting the entire nation, as well as the office of the presidency, all of the other branches of government, and most of the global community.
And perhaps having a president setting this kind of example of rude, crude and disrespectful behavior is the reason that others in the country are following suit.
And Kid Rock, the Ted Nugent wannabe? Seriously? The guy is a pig--who cares what he thinks.

I completely agree.
People are only making a big deal over him kneeling because they disagree with the reasoning behind it.

I was critical of Obama doing those things. I am also critical of Trump for it.
Meh, don't care. I'd rather watch 2 Korean teenagers try to beat each other in a video game.
What's that supposed to mean? All kids from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds play video games. Why are you specifically singling out Korean teenagers?
