Now the Giants, the colts, the seahawks, the Falcons, the 49ers, the Fins, the NFL as a league, MLB players sending a message of RESPECT to the right to express oneself in a peaceful manner.

People who take a common sense view on the fact that police, military, and several other civil servants swear an oath to allow exactly this.

Exactly.  I may not agree with it but I support the right to do so. 

I have been traveling all day and am just now settling into my hotel.  Oddly enough I was thinking about Trumps tweet on my way to the airport.  I was hoping every team would do something and I am glad they did.  I do not agree nor support those that sit during the anthem and I take personal issue with it but I still support their right to do it.
