Our troops of old gave us the right to kneel or not kneel for any occasion.
Republicans only care about their own freedom of speech. They're whiny little bitches when it comes to someone else's.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will fight to death your right to say it."

Yes, veterans gave you the right, you should show them the respect they deserve by NOT.
It's the national anthem that is why people get upset.
Besides what is the beef of the protest and what do they expect done? What? Name it. You can because there is nothing other then to tear apart the country then blame those who have done nothing. Typical liberal Bull Shyt.
What YOU or I think about their "cause" is irrelevant. To Kaepernick, it's about police brutality to black people. How valid you think that complaint is does not matter.
And what does the flag and the anthem have to do with police brutality? What in the hell are these millionaires actually doing to solve any problem, pissing off those who support them and the military of this country? That sure sounds like foolishness to me.
What you and him are doing is saying that because a few policemen shot a black guy that condemns everyone. Ok then, blacks sell drugs, thus all blacks sell drugs.
Lots! If you ever listened to the words of our National Anthem you would have noticed one small phrase, "land of the free"; by law, black men, women and children are free, but not in the same sense you or I (presumably you're of white European stock too) enjoy.
One small peaceful protest by Millionaires, standing in solidarity (mostly) with other athletes of color - white, black, mulatto - are attacked by Trump and other deplorable jerks as anti American; yet these hypocrites stand with their hand over their hearts and completely fail to acknowledge that the Laws of the United States and COTUS provide the opportunity to protest their grievance.
