The one who is at fault here is ROGER GOODELL. If he had run his company, the NFL, and followed its own rules and fined Kapernick a year ago for public displays unauthorized or outside game interests, none of this would have ever happened. The issue isn't Trump, the issue isn't the kneeling. The issue is them doing it at a neutral sports game in a fashion that gives the finger to the whole damn country!
you are welcomed to your opinion or meme but to me....If he wanted to say F YOU to the flag, he would have stood backwards, with his back to the flag during the national anthem, or something like that and not give a penitent man's posture or reverent man's posture imo!
