Huge Irish Catholic family, my dad had 2 brothers in WW2 both was part of the invasion on D-day, a sister in WW2 that was a shuttle or escort pilot for a Colonel i believe, another brother in the Korean War. My dad was in Vietnam, was even on the same ship with another brother of his till they split them up. Then he served in Vietnam on the riverboats. Somehow everyone lived and returned home.

So I'm going to be a little biased on this topic of course. But when you see what these young men and woman went threw, and you see the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima, it's hard for military personal not to be offended by this.

Everyone has the right to protest peacefully and have freedom of speech but not if it's in a disrespectful way. In a culture where everyone that gets offended at the silliest things causing these ridiculous laws to be made to protect the feelings of these snowflakes, is it too much to ask that these players find another way to take a stance that doesn't involve the flag, the Anthem and the people who faught and lost their lives over that flag.

You want to protest police brutality, go protest near a police station. Give back to your community, have lectures at schools and town halls. Or is that all too difficult. Taking a knee does nothing, it's just a lazy and easiest way to give people the impression that your making a difference when your not. Your just causing more anger and social and racial tension.

Agree.....they may very well mean it to be a slap to some service personnel and their families....but that is exactly what they are doing.
