[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3541404, member: 6668"] I'll say again, if the idea of kneeling during the anthem is to ultimately improve something, then that won't be done by giving the proverbial finger to the majority of America by being disrespectful to our flag. Showing a disdain for our country in that way provokes a 'go find somewhere else if you don't like it' response or feeling for me and I suspect a lot of others. I don't see the kneeling and think to self: "You know, seeing this expression of disrespect for our country and military really makes me think about my white privilege." Is that seriously the goal? I don't think it can be, so the purpose must be something else. Is the point simply to offend? To what end? I see no reason they can't kneel for a minute AFTER the anthem. Then, everyone still sees the protest, but they've not been disrespectful to something that a lot of people would consider one of their core beliefs or values. [/QUOTE]
