This is why it is said that though their message they are trying to send is good, the method is not good. A method which was started by a wannabe radical quarterback that wore pig-cop socks to practice and a pro-Fidel Castro t-shirt to press conference. Narrow minded fools taking after one is all this is.

Great point; As I said some folks just don't know and it is difficult to explain when you have others telling you "You're right".

The whole genesis of the Anthem playing before ballgames was to honor fighting men and women who could not be there in person to observe the games. But somehow, someway the narrative has turned to purposely choosing not to participate in this honor is not disrespectful.
