Its a free country tbh. Americans crying about this need to be put in a meat grinder
She was wearing a black lives matter shirt while doing this. I'm sure for black people this stuff is inspirational and motivating but for everyone else on the outside looking in this is about as childish and as dividing as it gets. The national anthem and the American flag are the ONLY TWO things Americans still hold as a sacred part of this country and to literally on it like this is probably not the best way to bring attention to the situation.

Donald Trump: NFL players' anthem protests 'a lack of respect for our country'

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called the spreading national anthem protests by NFL players a “very sad thing” in an interview on Monday.
San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick began the trend during the preseason as he refused to stand for The Star-Spangled Banner and caught heat previously from Trump. The NFL's Week 1 national anthem protests included Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, four Miami Dolphins players (Arian Foster, Michael Thomas, Jelani Jenkins and Kenny Stills) kneeling, and New England Patriots players Martellus Bennett and Devin McCourty along with Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters raising their fists.
“I think it’s a lack of respect for our country,” Trump said on Fox & Friends. “It’s a lack of appreciation for our country and it’s a very sad thing. I have never seen anything quite like it. You’re talking about a major sport, maybe the major sport. When you see that, it leads to a lot of other things. I think it’s lack of respect and appreciation of our country.”
Trump reiterated Kaepernick -- and now the other players -- should leave the U.S.
“They should try another country, see if they like it better, see how well they’ll be doing, see if they’ll make $20 million a year being a second-string quarterback,” Trump said.
Kaepernick, who chose to kneel in the in the 49ers’ final preseason game, and the 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. Kaepernick said his protest is meant to draw attention to police brutality and other struggles of people of color in the U.S.
“I don’t know if it helps,” Trump said. “The one thing that it does do is shows you have freedom. Freedom to do what you want to do. Freedom of expression. That’s the one thing it does show, but really I think it’s so sad.”
Sings national anthem
Protests it at the same time
that's like a pornographer protesting the exploitation of women during filming a throat scene.
If it's really a free country why all the angst?
You said its a free country, but then you want to meat grind those who complain. Not so free after all, huh?
They could have turned her mic off. Maybe it's time to play the anthem on tape and just
show the flag and not the players or anyone else.
Are you nutz? And miss the drama? no. This kneeling thing has some marketing promise, I expect to see more bottom tier assholes do it for media exposure.
where does this type of gotry come from?
muh cuntry

Agree with Trump. Leave the country if you don't like it.
See you later then when you get your ass handed to you in early November.
The whiners are the first ppl to threated the freedom thus should be cut at the root
Better yet why not just scrap the re ed tradition of singing the national anthem before every sporting event.
OP would probably off himself if he ever saw this...
A grand
Freedom isnt free...there's a hefty in fee
Everyone has AIDS! AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Oh no, wait, just that statue in front of your house
I am not a Dallas fan but when they sing the National Anthem the whole team and
coaches place their hand over their heart. This includes the foreign players. They have
done this for years. Kudos to the team.
