Taking a knee at the grave of a fallen soldier isn't a protest, it's a sign of respect and sorrow that a fellow service member has fallen.
You DO realize that when they have a memorial ceremony for fallen soldiers on the battlefield that they put up their boots, rifle and helmet as a way to remember them, and a lot of their comrades will go up to the display, take a knee, say a silent prayer, then stand and go on their way.
But, if you had actually ever served in the military, you might have understood that.
This has exactly what to do with an NFL player intentionally disobeying the rules of the league and not being punished?
Catch up!
Not to go sports in the political forum...but why isn't the NFL enforcing their own rules?
If an NFL player wanted to wear a specific color of shoes to pay tribute to Tom Petty, he would be fined and possibly suspended....because "those are the rules".
Apparently the NFL rules have a gray area.
Maybe they can make the rules of the actual game a gray area...let's determine intent in all NFL penalties during a game.
If any player displays their pleasure after a touchdown, they are fined. If they display their disrespect for our anthem and flag, that's okay.
This is liberal thinking at it's finest.
