If you are specifically referring to the Black NFL kneelers...it is ABSOLUTELY appropriate...it's perfect

I think any non-violent, non-destructive form of protest is appropriate as long as you are prepared to take the consequences.

I think it’s all ridiculous!! These “men” get paid a ridiculously enormous amount of money! If they are told to dig a hole for fresh water during the National Anthem... they should be grabbing a shovel!!

We post from many countries here. Ask your own citizens, why ask here.

The world has many countries, so many country Anthems are around, do you stand for them all????????

It is not - it is cowardly and demonstates to many a long vacuum in the human body waiting for a spine implant!

I think taking a knee is a good compromise. It's a way to protest while also demonstrating respect for our servicemen and women.

I think it's a poor form of protest that can be interpreted as disrespect to the country and troops.

That being said... trump and his peeps are blowing this deal way out of proportion
