No one in the military is actually harmed by kneeling.
None of the victims of excessive force by police is actually helped by kneeling.
The announcer says, "please stand".  If you don't stand, you are only "disrespecting" the announcer, if anyone at all.  But even he said, "please." It wasn't an order.
We've let internet memes from Russia and Macedonia and craven politicians make us feel like we have to "stand up" for veterans or active duty by spewing hate at kneeling football players.
None of us would be hurt in any way if we stopped singing the national anthem at pro sporting events altogether.  Save it for the international competitions.

They certainly do.  Every.  Single.  Thing.

It's poor symbolism, and the wrong point is made.

One of the biggest problem with the left... is a complete lack of self awareness.  Whenever their opinion is heard and rejected, they falsely feel they aren't being heard and need to shout it louder and destroy everything in their path until those who disagree submit.  They don't see that they lost the argument in the arena of ideas and debate.  They just incite the mob until they get their desire, with decency, logic, and debate tossed out the window.
