Which is a bigger disrespect to the US flag?

@TexChik Why do you think people choose to kneel before the flag while the National anthem is being played? What would cause people to have no respect for the flag and what it represents?

@justanothername its the woke thing to do i suppose . Stupid, but woke

@TexChik Its not stupid or woke. There is always a reason or reasons for it. When middle eastern countries burn effergies of US Presidents or the US flag its because they have no respect with the way they believe the US treats them or their country (bombing of civilains etc) so they are returning the gesture. Yes, terrorists attack US civilians in the US too so there are two sides to every coin. If you want to blame anything or anyone blame RELIGION and POLITICS because it is a difference in belief of those two things that have been the cause of every war since the beginning of time
When black athletes or sports people kneel at the start of a sports match or motor race its because they are showing their unity in protest for the way Black americans are treated/dis respected by white americans as shown most days and nights on the news. They are effectiveky saying How can I make an non violent statement on national TV and be heard. It may not be an ideal way of protesting against racial mistreatment but no protest is ever "ideal".

@justanothername isnt it funny how those same “ kneelers” found the opportunity their country gave them to be millionaires while disrespecting it ?

@TexChik America didnt give them the opportunity, their natural born talent and hard work gave them the skills which were spotted by one of many sports talent scouts who watch college sports training sessions for the next wonder kid. Talent scouts need their commissions too. It should be noted that Talent Scouts pick people on their talent irrespective of skin color.
Sports media provides the broadcast platform and advertisers provide the cash.

Problem is that some Republicans feel like everyone else owes them something and if it wasnt for Patriotic Republicans no one else would exist. That is about as far from the truth as you can get.

@TexChik Kneeling and belching exhaust smoke all over the flag a both disrectful. The first example is in protest the second example is arrogant self justification and if you choose to say kneeling is worse you are a hypocrite.

@justanothername then let them go earn that in Mexico , or Europe . It’s not going to happen . 🙄

@TexChik Go and earn what in Mexico? Are you saying all sports stars should go to Mexico?

@justanothername you said that living in the Us had nothing to do with the kneelers becoming millionaires . I’m calling Bullsh*t on your statement
