I personally don't care. It's a football game. It's just a symbolic gesture. Let them stand on their head if they want, it doesn't affect me.
While I personally wouldn't do it, I thank heaven we live in a country where they can if they want to. Nobody's disrespecting the flag, or breaking any laws. The way I understand it, the purpose is not to disrespect the brave servicemen and women in any way, just trying to call attention to the perceived inequalities they'll face when they get back. Seems to me there would be much better and more effective ways to get their message out, but, I'm not them.
As I stated in another thread, in one way or another, half the fans in the stadium are being disrespectful while the anthem is playing. At least the players are quiet about it.
