Most in my church get on their knees when we are praying. Some sit and bow their heads on the pew in front of them.
I don't like this man's attitude, but at the last football game I attended, kids and adults were sitting carrying on conversation and/or playing while the national anthem was played. To me he not only disrespected his country, he, as others here, disrespected his parents, grandparents, and the citizens of this great country.

Well some military personnel and Veterans think otherwise. https://www.facebook.com/NowThisNews/videos/1149527605137362/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED
At least his protest was not violent and well within acceptable standards of civility. We don't have to agree on his methods but he has the right to do so. I will not assume that he is doing anything more or less than this protest. Perhaps he is doing more and putting his actions and when necessary, his time and money towards productive activities and charities.
Just because they aren't publicized doesn't mean he has not. Perhaps this is the beginning of his efforts. Now that there is a moment of attention, let's see where this goes. Would people be shocked if in fact he held the opinion that we have to support our troops as they sacrificed and set aside the comforts and personal opinions to serve the USA?
What if the protest was limited to government practices? I seems to me that people are upset that he isn't supporting the troops and veterans, I haven't heard him say. Should he pbe prevented from showing sympathy or even empathy for anothers situation?

Well I am a decorated war vet and we did not fight for some jerk like this to insult our country ...and he has made some recent news about his politics ...like I mentioned he likes wearing fidel Castro t-shirts and likes using the n-word a lot
The guy is a trouble maker and just your basic angry jerk jock, who is upsets because he lost his starting job ... nothing more

Ok, and as I've said some military perssonel do not share your thoughts. He still had a right to sit or stand and I doubt his actions were directed at the military. Everyone has their own views, we don't have to agree. I don't know his character but I will say his method of protest is better than some that has been occuring across the country.

You can assume all you want you are within your rights to do so. Those politicans shown in a pic to be doing the same thing is more hypocritical and offensive to me as they are in key positions to make a change for the better. I'm not going to continue the back and forth with you. Bottom line he had a right to sit. There is an election that we all had better concern ourselves with not and NFL player.

Any politician that refuses to stand and honor our nation should lose their job ...I bet they are Democrats ..and you wont find me defended politicians ...but I will say this guy is just a crybaby jerk and your post about Vets fighting for these type of people, proves you know nothing bout vets or why we serve.... Its offensive But its OK in America to offend ole war vets but not street thugs ... Obamas America ..I guess?
