RE: Stand or Sit for the Anthem?
Of course not, the responsibility for these acts should be in the hands of the teams and not the people, I said everyone can do what he wants, but in public spaces there should be some respect for the nation. In this case they are in a stadium and no law should restrict that, but in public spaces there are certain things like those that should at least have a call for attention.
This is where we differ, because freedom applies to public spaces as well, and somebody kneeling down for the national anthem cannot really be classed as disrespectful, it is a quite and dignified protest. The team has no more right to impose behavioural rules in this matter, than the government does.
