Its funny to look at all of this from the outside in.

A group of influential people use their platform to raise awareness to the inequality and racial issues that still exist in America today by protesting. They all say they respect the military, love their country and want to make it a better place for eveyone.

Unfortunately many Americans (like some here) don't want to hear any of this and instead focus on the protest they choose instead of the message they are sending and their reasons for doing so. What was supposed to be a positive movement to help America grow and progress has been turned into a a completely separate issue where people are claiming these players hate their country, hate the flag and hate the military. Based on what the players have done and said, nothing could be further from the truth.

I know you guys like to talk about America as the land of the free and the greatest country out there but it isn't unfortunately and it won't be until you starting fixing the issues you have in the country at the moment. Its not even a democrat/republican thing , simply human rights.
