Florida Times Union - Smallest crowd of Khan Era sees Jaguars lose to Rams

True.  

However The National Anthem, The Pledge of Allegiance, etc. is not just pledging allegiance to a symbol, it's showing respect for what the symbol represents.  The flag isn't just a "piece of cloth" or just a "symbol" just like The Anthem is not just "a song".  It's all about what they represent.

You know, the Republic that it symbolizes which is one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

You know, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It's about each and every one of us regardless of race, religion, gender, etc.

So in essence, kneeling and/or refusing to show some dignity and respect when the flag is presented and The Anthem is played pretty much disrespects the people of this country.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
