One good question I noticed on a facebook comment is "What % of people stand up for the national anthem while sitting and watching from home?" I've never seen ANYONE stand up for the anthem outside of a baseball stadium, where most people do it just when the announcer says "please rise". Are all these people disrespecting America and the military by doing this?
THIS THIS THIS.

Is complete BS when you really think about it bunch of fake outrage, I'm willing to bet all the white peeps who's jimmies he rustled don't even tune in for the anthem before the game....I also find it hilarious when you have to stand up as a judge enters a courtroom?...like why SWAY?
There's some very problematic hierarchy problems in this country. I'd like to know what would happen if I didn't stand for the judge.
"A finding of being in contempt of court may result from a failure to obey a lawful order of a court, showing disrespect for the judge, disruption of the proceedings through poor behaviour, or publication of material or non-disclosure of material, which in doing so is deemed likely to jeopardize a fair trial. A judge may impose sanctions such as a fine or jail for someone found guilty of contempt of court."
Held in contempt

Why do you, time after time, try to rationalize why people do emotionally charged things?What exactly is Kaep doing this going to do?...who is he helping? What awareness is he bringing? I think dude could have done much more if he wanted to before this stunt....unless other players rally behind him, which I don't see it happening, the entire Giants organization practically made it clear they didn't agree with it this weekend....all this will do is blackball him....these guys earn a once in a lifetime opportunity, you gotta be able to use it wisely....being courageous isn't always being smart, he just YOLOd it with zero thought process behind it.
How many of you think he'll issue an apology? Or ride it out....will he stand up for the anthem next game?
Did anyone claim they did this?
I've done it a few times before huge Yankees World Series games...but that was just because I was 16 and so hyped.
you can';t be telling people who feel they've been slighted by the powers that be "you know, there's much better ways to protest" or "this is not the way i would go about it"
protest is messy. if it bothers you, good. protest ain't about making life easier for you who's living that comfortable life on the other side of the line. if it gets you mad, upset or makes you feel a certain negative way about someone like kaepernick, black lives matter or any other protest group or individual fed up with the mistreatment of people of color in this country rather than the actual mistreatment of people of color from all levels of society and govt then YOU really are part of the problem
You forget that the majority of NFL players are black. I'm sure several players would sit out games if Kaep is blackballed.I hope he does have the courage to fully stand by it bro...losing endorsements is one thing, being blackballed and dropped into obscurity from the one thing he loves doing is another.
The difference is saying he's ungrateful as if he should feel lucky that this country threw him a bone is shaded with ignorance and borderline racist. So if I hear something like 'he shouldn't speak up because he's one of the lucky ones' or 'but he was adopted by white parents' of course I'm going to take issue with it.Some of you are just as outraged as the people outraged against Kaep. They have a right to think he could have went about it differently or think he's ungrateful or wouldn't be doing this if he was still a star. Just like he has a right to protest. (To a point. His employer can step in in certain instances)
really? i ain't calling anyone the n word though just cause it rubs me the wrong way. i ain't out there perpetuating the hate toward people of color cause i see their fight for equality and justice as an affront to my liberties and way of life. cause that's what this is - white people (and other lost souls) see other peoples' fight for equality as taking away from them and their possessions.Some of you are just as outraged as the people outraged against Kaep.
