Perhaps it's time to remove the pledge of allegiance or the national anthem at sporting events. I myself don't have a problem with this, but it seems people are pushing this way past what it was meant to be. I won't bother to argue. it's a waste of time.
Sorry - I think 'removing the pledge of allegiance or national anthem... " is acquiescing to their nonsense. If they would protest what the original intent was (police brutality toward blacks), they would be recognized and people could address the issue. Disrespecting the country, the flag, and the people is not a protest ... it is an insult.
Not a problem. They knew that some people just wouldn't be capable of understanding the protest, and some would just believe what ever the right wing told them. Your point of view has been considered, and determined to not matter.
Some? SOME? Your elitism clearly stifles clear thought.
Tell that to the NFL, DirecTV, Phil Long Ford, American Legion, VFW, and a myriad of other organizations that their opinion doesn't matter.
In fact, tell that to the NFL owners the next time they go to negotiate their TV rights package.
