How do you feel about athletes not standing for the National Anthem
I'm okay with it for pro sports leagues. I am against it if you are on a United States national team. Representing a team and your country are different to me.

I totally support them. Part of this country's strength is presumably its Constitution, which includes the First Amendment. The players are not making noise or disrupting the anthem, they're not involved in any destruction, like someone burning the flag. They're using their positions of privilege to make a statement on behalf of those not as fortunate. If it really is a free country, they have that right.

Well I have to agree with you on that.
