NFL’s Proposed National Anthem Rules: Penalties for Kneeling Being Considered

**RandomGuy** · 05-25-2018

In the internment camps, we were forced to face the US flag each morning and recite the Pledge of Allegiance from behind barbed wire fences. Patriotism is earned by a nation that lives up to its promises. It is our sacred duty to always speak out when it does not. #TakeAKnee

Kneeling during the anthem doesn't disrespect the military.

The way we treat homeless veterans and ignore veterans mental health issues because it "costs too much" DOES.

i'd love it if there was a game where none of the players came out of the locker rooms.

I think most have the problem with the players protest at the game
if they did it not when they were playing football game
if they went on the media outlets and did a sit down interview which shows would do I would have no problem with it

I wish someone would just come out and say " the flag". That way, we wouldn't have to keep pussy-footing trying to keep conservative folks from getting mad. It's a ing piece of cloth, and it only has as much meaning as you put into it. It can represent the best parts of America to some chode if that's what they want, but ultimately, being able to protest, to make people mad and to be able to walk down the street without feeling like your government is out to get you ARE supposed to be the best parts. And we can't have those things because dumbasses want to hide behind the flag and act like saying "America is the best country in the world" over and over again makes it true.

I'm a veteran, and I don't feel disrespected.

I think it is awesome, and further note that the idea CAME from a veteran.

How's that for a fact?

This.

Conservatives want freedom for themselves, but not for others.

What is more disrespectful? Draft dodging(multiple times) or kneeling during the anthem?

Which is worse, kneeling or burning a draft card?

So if we go to war and our country is in need of brave men and women to help fight our enemies, you wouldn't bat an eye at an individual dodging or deferring? You're cold-blooded man.
