How I personally look at it is In the roughly two-minute rendition of Key’s poem, we want to feel unified in belonging to a country with such a diverse background. When the players use this time of unity to divisively advance their agenda, outrage is probably going to happen. We should never shy away from acknowledging our issues, but equally as important, perhaps more so, is celebrating our strengths. I fully understand without this protest, there's no discussion like this going on, but just wish there was a healthier method of delivery on how we can get better as a society. But this did exactly as it was intended, so mission accomplished and happy the vast majority of this country is now well aware of this problem and hopefully working toward getting better.

Well said brother.  I've felt a good compromise would have been to maybe kneel before the opening kickoff....hell, that's on national TV.  Also, bring awareness to your plight in post game interviews.  Win, win.  However, I have those pie in the sky views where we all work together to solve our problems and use compromise and common sense.
