Simply pointing out that there are people who have experienced these things and don't see the kneeling as disrespect, because there is no better show of respect to those who fought than properly utilizing the rights they fought to preserve. And of course, anybody can feel any way they want about this issue.

I don't think I am going out on a limb to say you would be in the minority with that opinion of the aforementioned group and there is nothing wrong with that.  While I don't agree with it, I don't see kneeling as disrespectful either.  Sitting on your rear end or stretching during the anthem on the other hand I deem to be extremely so, especially to those that served for your right to do so.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
