Not standing for national anthem

[ktheodos]

Thoughts on that?

[SherylsShado]

Very disrespectful.

Maybe there is a reason that others do not understand as to why some Americans don't. I don't think it is to disrespect anyone. Clearly if they had a BIG problem with the national anthem being said they would walk out of whatever function this was going on at.

A true follower of Jesus will pay Caesars things to Caesar and pay things back to God.When Gods laws were compromised the apostles said we must serve God before man.But also remember they didnt burn the flag.They remained neutral and still respected God has allowed man to have laws so total chaos wouldnt happen until Gods kingdom rules.

There is a difference between walking to a restroom during the national anthem during a ballgame and blowing up a federal building!

Like Kaep and a 49er fan,but didn't like that he didn't stand. Now everyone will be waiting to see if he does it again.

I think it's a little disrespectful. Unless you physically can't stand up for it. However there will always be people who either don't feel like it and they have a problem with it.

He did not stand because he does not agree with the way the country treats people of color. There is a lot of craziness that is going on in this country right now that does not make sense and does not represent a strong united nation.

I'm with him.

If he doesn't want to stand for that, fine, protest fine, embarrass his team fine, but if it makes you that angry to be in this country when you have been lucky enough to be successful in it, THEN GET THE **** OUT! What an ungrateful loser who doesn't appreciate what he has.  By the way where was this protest last year, and the year before, this stuff has been going on forever and now HE wants to protest.  I wouldn't use his jersey for toilet paper.  Grow up millionaire, second string has been QB.  In a few years when his money runs out we will see how his attitude is then won't we.

[JediJohnnie]

I feel the same. He's disrespecting people past & present who put their lives on the line to protect this country. You don't have to love our country's leaders to respect what our nation stands for.

fjaz1, I agree 100% with you.  This country has made you a millionaire. Now you disrespect the same country by not respecting its flag.  Go move to another country and do the same....see what happens to you then.  Disgusting.

Your response is invalid. The flag was created to inspire national unity & create a separate identity from Britain & this my friend is why it was created. The modern meaning of the flag forged in 1860 symbolizes American nationalism. And today has become a huge symbol of Americanism. Fun fact since most people don't even realize what the flag is about or different meanings of each American flag that was made- The US flag (since made during the war) has been modified officially 26 times since 1777.

He should be fined or fired

Have you read his interview? He said he is fully aware that they may fire him & he is okay with this. The interview he did was actually really sad & explains why he took a stand (it had everything to do with what is going on with injustice in the world today). The best thing to me about America is our freedom. And regardless of what anyone "stands for" America will always be great to me as we have rights & our own voice to speak on if we feel a certain way & for everyone to stand for something.
