The only people I see THAT upset by this happen to be conservatives, where it’s not American to disrespect military service but okay to vote for a 5 time draft dodger who attacks gold star families and POWs.

The same line of thinking that allows Rs to threaten civil war because Obama was going to take all the guns you still have, but somehow makes you more American than the libs.

The same logic that says not respecting our flag makes you less of an American, but harsher words for people who kneel during a fricking song than those who carried flags of countries our union were at war with (the nazi flag and confederate flag) that marched in Charlottesville.

If someone kneeling violates your safe space, turn off the fricking tv.

My Dad and every other vet fought for the right to stand OR kneel. Kneeling is not the way I would choose to draw attention to the issue of racial inequality, but the animosity on this board towards people exercising a right provided in the constitution should take a long look at what is “American.”
