What could be more American than exercising her right to free speech? That's what freedom is.

To all these morons claiming she should leave the country...OK, when you complain how terrible the country now is, how it's on a downward slope to socalism etc...why don't you move elsewhere? What's the difference?

Americans who disagree with you are still Americans. Personally, I don't see how any freedom loving American could align with a trust fund child who hates democracy. Does that mean I should consider you idiots to not be American?

I mean, at this point I don't think she's even said WHY she feels the Anthem is bad.

She just wants everyone else to bow to her sensitivities, as if her feelings are more important than everyone else's.


You don't apply for a job and then actively criticize the company you're applying to.

Not if you want the job.......

Trump and his associates are actively anti-American, and Trump constantly criticized everything about this country, yet people still support him. Again, what's the difference?

Yes , free speech is a right afforded to each and every American. What is dangerous though, is when that free speech is based on false narratives. This is a perfect example, of that. She is basing her anti American attitude on a false narrative that has been blathered on and on since 2014.

That is the dilemma. The leftists should know a thing or two about this since they've whined about it all through the last presidency, and many of the left leaning CEO's of social media platforms have been successful in censoring it.

Not sure what the correct thing to do is. I guess we fall back to our Bill of Rights and hope the system of checks and balances works for all of us.

Eventually all black athletes will demand their own flag and anthem. Wanna bet? The NBA is on the verge of cancelling the anthem and certain players won't play for owners that are conservative.


This is where "progressivism" has gotten us, liberals. A nation more divided and filled with hate than ever before. I hope you're all happy.

Could you imagine a basketball player ripping off his jersey, turning his back on the team, saying the team never represented him. This is just a selfish little girl, making it all about herself. She is not representing the USA, she only represents her own selfish interests. She should be kicked off the US team.

Every "slippery slope" ever that liberals derided or pooh-poohed has come true. Every one. They are pathological liars - they always have an ulterior motive in what they do

People are allowed to protest whatever they want. But do it on their own time and at their own destination.

People can go to her place she chooses to support her. But don’t do it at a public venue. Likely paying audience.

Imagine every high school or college graduate who wants to protest for whatever they want. Peta, Asians lives, black lives etc. it would create chaos at these events.

So if you support what she’s doing at a public event. Than you should let anyone protest peacefully walking across the stage to accept their diploma. No matter how you feel about their protest.
