Here's the way I look at it. If your father dies (or anyone else for that matter) I will pull over for the procession. Why? Hell, I don't know you and I didnt know your father. However, it's about respect.
If your grandmother is having issues making it up the stairs in a public place, should I stand back with my cell and record in case she falls so I can send to all my friends, post it on FB and see how many responses I get? Or, should I help her up the stairs? I will keep phone in pocket and help her up the stairs.
The flag represents more than any corruption under it. The national anthem explicitly gave people hope in dismal times. It gave soldiers adrenaline and a reason to continue when they wanted to quit. There is more representation of the flag than black lives matter, police brutality, racial profiling and religion and whatever other cause you want to tag to it. It represents all the good along with the bad, but there is a lot of good. A Lot of GOOD!
The flag means a lot to me and I have a very proud military family history. Personally, as I see someone take a knee, all I see is ignorance. But that's how my mind thinks. But I know that right is his, and there is no reason to provoke his rights. Why? Well, the flag stands for that too. But why act like an ass hat and hurt the guy next to you and disrespect it? This aint the hood, a college classroom, a klan rally so there's no reason to make it a protest staple. There are better stages to protest. Like maybe the courthouse steps where the laws are made or the trials are being held? Why bring politics into the friggen NFL? Good God, nobody's happy unless there is dissention among everyone. Turn off your damn TV's and stop listening to Fox, CNN, CBS and all the other biased station who even use political jabs in their programming.
Get outside and enjoy your life and your kids and your surroundings and your freedoms that you don't respect because you've never had to endure any less. I sometimes think we live in a hopeless society. Instead of the continuous support of those kneeling, why not educate them why its respectful to stand? Why? Because it's not all about you!
