However, to say he hates america is totally off base.  

Think of it this way.  Which is more patriotic?  Trying to make your country a better place FOR ALL and truly the greatest country on earth.  Or to ignore all faults because you believe in American exceptionalism and the status quo?

We should strive to be the best country in the world.  The land of the free.  Justice for all. etc.

Not just plant our flag and declare it true.

The anthem and and what is symbolizes is being played out on the field with the protests.


Freedom of speech is the most important idea this country is founded upon.  
These protests are not a disrespect of the troops actually they are a reminder of what our serviceman have sacrificed to protect.

There are very real issues in this country and unfortunately nothing changes without hurt feelings.

The way people have gone at each other over this insignificant topic, and many others is sickening. This country's downfall is coming, and it has nothing to do with ISIS, North Korea, Russia, immigrants, walls... It's literally rotting out from the inside.
