    Well said

    And they will all. #TakeAKnee

    This will be powerful: #Raiders offensive line, the only all African-American unit in @NFL, plans to sit or kneel together during the anthem

    But they didn't like they choose to act like little kids and did something they knew was wrong but did it anyways for the attention they would get as a result of their actions and I'm sorry our anthem is not a political football to be passed around as you see fit. It means something to most of us. You don't get to disrespect it then have a seat at the table with me.

    So I'm not really interested in their message. I still condemn police brutality and racism in all forms but when it comes to listening to the players about their ideas their experience their solutions. Don't care.
    But since you all Military and flag, why don’t you have a problem with the Military being charged by NFL to do the Anthem before the game?

Everyone's perspective is not going to be the same. Respect the differences.
    Props, I respect it

    I think you're projecting quite a bit. One can be supportive of the flag and the anthem without being racist. One can want their employees to stand during the anthem while supporting them in their efforts off the field.

    Sheeeeiiiiittttt man - do you know how hard it is for a American to go ex-pat and get citizenship in Canada these days? It's not easy.

    My wife and I have been looking at property in Nova Scotia.
