True, but the country, the Republic and the people of this nation MAKE THE FLAG GREAT, doh!I've never been the type for symbolism. I'd love this country if neither the flag or anthem existed. You can burn the flag or kneel for the anthem. They aren't what makes my country great.
So they shouldnt disrespect the flag and anthem without realizing that they are also disrespecting ALL OF US, their paying fans.
You are the one disrespecting this country. You ignore the Constitution. The Constitution is what makes this country great. That is what makes a 97 year old man kneel in support of the players. He understands that.
