American citizens in the military are, by flag protocol, supposed to salute the flag, and civilians are to place their right hand over their heart.at this late date after we've passed square one, but what's so awful about kneeling during the National anthem? And please pardon what looks like naivety, but it looks kinda respectful to me. But then, I've always been ambivalent about the word God in the pledge to the flag too, since it first appeared in 1954, a year after I graduated high school..meaning I never said it all thru my youth because it was added later. Does that mean that all of us who grew up pre-God in the allegiance are unpatriotic? And FYI, I still call it the Army Air Corps.
To break that protocol is to disrespect the flag. Colon Krapunchnik is a multimillion dollar brat who thinks he is oppressed because he is half black.

The American flag that everyone salutes is the corporate banner of USA.INC whose corporate headquarters is the "District of Columbia" and not any different than Wal-Mart. If you were in Wal-Mart and they played their corporate jingle and raisede a Wal-Fart corporate banner would I need to "stand at attention" to show respect to the corporation that is Wal-Mart? What I have discovered via my many thousands of hours of research the last four and a half years is that people do shit for reasons they have no clue about because of "group-think" and those that "rebel" don't understand what it is that they are rebelling against.
I will not stand for the national anthem nor will I ever salute the corporate banner until we return to being a Republic but not for the reasons these athletes are doing because they don't have a fucking clue.
You must have inherited your great wealth and never worked one single day in your life with the common people, down in the ditches so to say. I pee on your great inherited wealth.
