Well, if his career is RIP...it was a really good career for a little white guy from Purdue.
And hey, nothing like being cancelled for having principles. He'll be able to tell his children and grandchildren that he was exiled from polite society for having principles and exercising free speech. If he actually holds strong and doesn't self-flagellate before the alter of virtue signaling nonsense...good for him.
But as many patriotic Americans support the right to kneel as a sign of protest as don't. It's debatable, subjective.
You are continually avoiding the issue that it was suggested that kneeling was a more respectful way to raise awareness...and it was a veteran who suggested it.
There have been countless vets who have spoken up and said that they support the right to kneel.......they don't see it as being unpatriotic.
I am continually avoiding the issue? Really do tell how do you know anything about what I have done in this regard?
And guess what, there have been countless vets who have spoken up that they DON’T support kneeling during the National Anthem and think it’s unpatriotic and disrespectful. Let’s go all tit for tat on this why don’t we?
Oh and by the way, no one said he doesn’t have the RIGHT to kneel. He absolutely does, you know free country and all that (thank you vets and active duty). That is NOT the issue and you know it.
That is true from what I've read about a veteran offering that advice. BUT..does that matter if many other veterans disagree? Obviously a lot of veterans do agree with it but I guess my rant on that is just because a veteran gave him the idea doesn't automatically make it right.
Kneeling is a sign of respect in various cultures around the globe, including this one. Those who oppose it can spare the false outrage. They should stop the masquerade and just be honest about the fact that they don’t care about nor want to hear of any discrimination suffered by black people. That’s the real issue. They are of the same ilk as those that denied black vets their benefits after risking their lives for a nation that hated them. If they weren’t they wouldn’t speak as though only their relatives fought and/or died for this nation.
Not really. He takes a personal viewpoint of the flag that does not encompass all American. To paint it entirely as a symbol of military duty is a disservice to Americans that did not serve. He needs to widen his horizons and talk to teammates about their differing viewpoint. But he obviously has not bothered. These are guys that helped him become a multimilliomaire. It’s clear that he is dead set in his opinion and hasn’t bother recaching out to them to discuss.

He also takes a personal viewpoint of military service that does not encompass all Americans. That’s entirely disrespectful to black vets, especially those who gave their lives. Same goes for all of those who share his viewpoint.
