If people don't understand what the protests are about, then why don't players acknowledge that to some people not standing for the anthem is extremely disrespectful?  I've been to Jags games and if you don't take your hat off you will have a number of people yelling at you to take it off.

But they are still working. No one has sat out a game or a practice. They are working when they are required to work.

Look I understand people getting upset about it, but I just think that anger is misplaced. They're misinterpreting the act and the reason behind it.

The biggest problem I have is kids/young adults doing it who don't have any idea why and just want to make some noise. There is nothing wrong with the true cause behind the stance (pun not intended) but it's been so twisted and misconstrued by everyone from Trump to even other NFL players.

1.) Yes there is a problem with it.  95 to 99% of the differences between racial groups have to do with internal factors, family integrity being top of the list . This whole thing has nothing to do with strengthening marriage rates.  Its classic leftist whinning.  

2.) You have the freedom to protest in this country.  Its incumbent on the people PROTESTING to find a message that. Communicates their goals effectively and resonates.  If you choose to focus on a national icon and making a blanket statement that the country is racist and systemically unjust then u should have recognized that there was a chance that you might really upset some people or be misunderstood.  Its like the one-ders. 

3.) By their own flawed sjw definition, the players are privileged in a systemically unjust system because blacks are over represented in the population of NFL players.  #incompetenthypocrisy
