Anybody else already tired of the players taking a knee during the anthem?

The last picture I saw was of the Dallas Cowboys doing it. I'm a Redskins fan anyway. But the way I see it is if you don't stand with your country you stand against it.

Regardless of whatever their motives are, it's a disrespect to our flag and country. Our ancestors, family, friends and strangers have fought and will fight for us to be safe at our home.

@xRedx I agree with Jesse

@imLobo I thank you for your service, sir. But I still find this disrespectful. I don't want to change anyone's mind but that is having no respect, regardless of their beliefs. If someone is so uncomfortable with our government and laws, they should leave.

@imLobo No, I haven't. Both are disrespectful though.

@imLobo I'm not saying I'm ignoring the words and what their intentions are.

@imLobo It's disrespectful. This country gives us everything we could ask for. I would be more tolerant if their response wasn't at their work. They have every right to protest but I do not like it whatsoever nor will I support it, regardless of what message they are trying to send.

@imLobo I understand and respect everyone's view. I never once said or implied I my ignorance to their rights and/or beliefs. I simply stated that what they do is disrespectful, which it is regardless of the 1st amendment. Being ignorant and being aware are two different things. And I know some of our flaws, especially on our monetary infrastructure since the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act on 1913. The U.S. is in the grasp of a private company since then. I'm well informed on how our government has acted on certain things, regarding several wars and unnecessary use of violence. That itself should be a disgrace to the U.S. but that's not the topic.

What's being questioned here is the disrespect these individuals are displaying to our flag, our country. I care not for their motives or agenda, but what they're doing is disrespect. And yes, they have every right to do it, but it's contradicting considering they're still here, living in the United States of America.

@imLobo Again, I comprehend their right to do as they please. When did I encourage them not to exercise their rights? I stated that kneeling while the national anthem is playing is disprectful. And no, no bill or document states that you need to respect their will free will. I never implied or said that, you fabricated that implication.
