I guess what I don't get is why it is even considered disrespectful to kneel for the anthem/flag. Does god or religion have a monopoly on kneeling as a sign of solemnity? Would have sworn that Kaepernick and Eric Reid chose kneeling because it would be more respectful than sitting on the bench.
While I can't say I agree with every step since Colin Kaepernick first sat out the national anthem, it's a shame that our inept president and the media have helped derail the original purpose of the demonstrations to fight institutionalized racism in our country.
