Or the 75+ American military bases we have around the world, uninvited or not.. Or the interventionist(and quite unconstitutional) foreign policy our last 3+ presidents have loved to execute. Or the income tax that was ratified in the most shady of ways, as a "temporary" measure... Or the fact we are forced to buy a health care plan or pay a fine("tax"), which is unprecedented in the U.S. Or the NDAA of 2012, or the Patriot act, or the NSA, all of which assault our justice system, privacy, and individual liberties.  But no, we worry about how many knees are on grass during the anthem of a children's game. We are upset when a right of liberty is exercised, but not when multiple liberties are blatantly attacked, sounds about right for the ignorant nation of idiots we seem to have.

Way too many serious issues raised here  that would require well-thought out plans to resolve, and most Americans just don't understand what is actually happening to our country and the war that is being wage against the middle class and the Bill of Rights.  

It's easier to placate the masses with inconsequential issues like NFL players kneeling during the anthem.  Get everyone riled up one way or another over an issue that frankly doesn't mean a damn thing in the big picture.
