I see so much hatred and violence daily in places like Chicago and other cities. I see no athlete or entertainer protest this black on black crime. Why? Why do they tolerate and turn a blind eye to these issues? My point is there are many issues we face and there is a way to address them all and disrespecting the anthem and the flag do nothing but incite more hate and violence by sparking the emotions of Patriots who flat out hate anyone disrespecting the flag ans those who fought to insure we can peacefully protest.

Find another way to be heard, this is just making it worse in my opinion.

For me, personally, this is the biggest issue with the kneeling thing. There are real problems out in this world. If a player wants to make a real difference, get your ass out in the community, or get involved with the community you grew up in...or if neither apply, pick a place where there are problems and see what  you can do to make a difference. 

Kneeling on the sideline, while i've stated is their right, is a lame-ass lazy way out of doing anything meaningful. 

'Solidarity' is the weakest form for change if it doesn't have feet to go make a real difference.
