Quote:I wasn't insinuating that the anthem itself is meaningless. I was implying that getting worked up over someone standing or sitting for it iso.


In fact, most vets I personally know don't have much of a problem with it.


These guys are some of the few who have a platform to bring attention to issues. I actually think Marshall's knee was much classier than Kap sitting with his head down, but outside of donating money, which a lot do, how else are they supposed to spread awareness. This is about as peaceful as protesting gets.


I do not understand getting upset about this. No one is out there saying "screw America, thus place sucks!" They're saying "look, this country has some flaws, let's take a look at fixing them" Which is 100% accurate (and not just for racism)
