The players should protest on their own time, not when they are on the clock. They are offending the very fans that paid to see them. Why is it that some are allowed to offend people all they want, but the minute some exercise their freedom of speech to express their opinion of BLM, antifa, Hillary, Obama or Muslims, they are treated like criminals?
They can disrespect America all they want but better be prepared for others to do the same and boycott them.
Under the 1st amendment they have every right to protest whereever/whenever. They're are protesting Trump's disrespect toward them---(not the flag or the National Anthem.) I would much rather prefer that our players WANTED to stand versus being FORCED to stand. We're not N. Korea yet.
You have elected a man with no honor, no respect, no dignity, no decency and the only loyalty he has ever shown to anyone is to himself and Vladimir Putin. Trump who is under criminal investigation for Obstruction of Justice, regarding collusion with Russia to interfere into an American election. Trump who wrote in his book that his "personal VIET NAM" was avoiding Sexually Transmitted diseases, really doesn't COMMAND a lot of RESPECT with many Americans in this country. In fact, he is the last person in this country that should be commentiing on Patriotrism, much less attacking others for his regard over their lack of it.
A Viet Nam veteran & sports announcer out of Dallas, Texas explains it very well. This is a facebook statement going around, so if you have trouble hearing it, there is an icon for volumn on the video. This will remind you of what the flag is really all about.
