Quote:Bull. Sitting during the anthem is protected speech under the First Amendment. The unamerican thing to do would be standing for an anthem out of rote or perceived "patriotism" rather than exercising the right that the forefathers of our nation died to win.

 

Kaepernick's speech is as protected as the speech of those who are tearing up or burning his jersey. He disagrees with something and uses his national profile to make a statement about it. You disagree with his way of expressing disapproval and create a thread on a message board about it. That's how free speech works. [BAD WORD REMOVED] and moaning because someone chooses to exercise that right is disrespecting our country.
