Exactly. That was a textbook example of a straw man fallacy. Do any of you happen to remember that time the Dixie Chicks made negative statements about George Bush and it ended their career? Knowing that most country music fans are are most likely Republican that was a very poor choice on their behalf. Sure they exercised their freedom of speech but it cost rhem their career as well.
Actually I've never used that word fascist when referring to Donald Trump. I've use the word demagogue, pompous buffoon with narcissistic personality disorder, childish ,bully, unprofessional, con artist... but not fascist
Anyway it aggravates the poop out of me when people try to say that a Christian cannot be patriotic. Anyone who says they can have several seats

He has the right to exercise his views.
Now, if his contract or if some general NFL edict makes clear he can't do that, then he should be given a warning. If he does it again, then take whatever action is allowed by his contract.
He doesn't need to like or respect this country to be here. He doesn't need to be mature to play football.
It would be ideal if he was enjoying this countries society, football, and his teammates, but if he is not, he's not.
There are a lot worse things people do everyday in this country. He stands out because he is in the public eye. When you look at the big picture, what he did wasn't a "federal crime."
If you want to talk about people that are causing this country harm, look to Hillary Clinton, then we've got a real conversation going.

I was jerks like him could see what it's like to endure the hardships of War and serving our country in order to give him the freedom to act like a spoiled little kid.... now that's hypocrisy.. let me disrespect the national anthem that represents the people who fought and died to give me the freedom to do so.
I am probably going to get pummeled for this, but here I go. when I was a kid, we loved old glory. to us, it stood for freedom, God , guts and guns. now it stands for gay marriage , political correctness, and government entitlement programs.
I stand for the anthem, but I do not put my hand over my heart, because this junk we have today ain't America.
