RE: Fox News Hosts Meltdown Over Super Bowl Protests That Haven’t Happened Yet
I find it interesting why so many people care. I actually view what the players do as showing reverence for the flag. They could close their eyes, turn their backs, talk during, moon the flag, or whatever other ridiculous things people end up doing.
Instead, they are kneeling and showing some sort of reverence to the flag of their country.
It blows my mind. People, it is not disprespecting the flag. It is appreciating what it stands for while understanding there are things that need to be fixed. America may be amazing, but we have a lot of horrible bullshit that comes along with that.
To be a true Patriot, you need to understand it all.
I agree. I'm a six year US Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan and them kneeling doesn't make me feel disrespected at all. We didn't fight for a flag or a song. I think most vets would agree with me that they should be allowed to kneel. I think the whole kneeling thing is a little silly and not very pragmatic though. But who am I to judge?
I thank you for your thoughts on this.
I also am not sure if it is worth to keep kneeling as it seems to distract from the issue being knelt for.
I just wish people could stop trying to be offended by everything and look at the reason behind the action. This individuals love there country enough to take flak and probably lose money and sponsors just to show something that is a problem and should be fixed.
I wish people could look beyond their own opinions and see the truth behind their biased narrative.
Well said.
