Will we see players kneel?

Bonnie, i mean this with the absolute most respect i could possibly offer. Your uncle, like many other fine men and women have given their lives so that the rest of us could practice freedom. That's the most unselfish act i could only imagine. I get choked up every time the anthem is played because my thoughts are always with those that gave that ultimate and unselfish sacrifice, as well as their family.

What these players are doing is practicing that freedom. They feel there is something wrong and they're trying to bring light to it. I don't fully agree with how it's been done and i don't like the amount of air time it's getting, but what i don't like as well is that it's turned into a 'disrespecting the flag' argument instead of a 'what are they protesting and what merit does it have' argument. 

I offer my condolences for your loss. I have many family members that have served in the military as well as law enforcement and some have lost their lives. I'm not trying to tell you how to think, only offering a different way to look at it.
