[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

You are a veteran that took the oath of service saying you would defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and you haven't watched football because someone exercised the rights you fought to protect? Do you forget that your oath wasn't to a flag or a song but to the very rights you are spitting on? Why do you disrespect every man and woman who has ever died fighting for those rights by forgetting what they died for?

[@charlesdai]

Yes, I'm sorry, I should embrace someone who has never served our country to disrespect our country by not standing for the national anthem. Im sure every man and woman who has ever died fighting for our rights are turning in their graves for me not watching football, maybe it is my right too! Do baseball, basketball, hockey players have to stand for the anthem? The men and women who died serving our country wouldn't have cared if we showed disrespect to our country and flag? They wouldn't have cared if we didn't stand for our anthem? I'm sure the veterans who lost their arms and legs fought for the rights of millionaire athletes who didn't stand for the anthem or showed patriotism to the country. I took an oath of service to defend the constitution of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, more domestic than foreign lately. Everyone has the right to protest, which includes my right to protest against the NFL by not watching it or buy any products from it.

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

@@charlesdai No one has to stand for the Anthem. You are thinking of North Korea and China. You have every right not to watch football but to claim that people exercising the rights that we fought for is disrespecting the country is not what we fought for. I agree there are more domestic enemies of the Constitution than foreign right now. Like veterans that think the flag and the anthem are more important than Constitutional rights.

[@charlesdai]

The audience doesnt have to stand for the Anthem, it is a free country, but players do, just like in most professional sports, they are heroes to many children and they have to set a good example. I understand we have the right to protest anything, but protesting the flag and the national anthem is not patriotic, not illegal but immoral. We need to show our next generation the importance of unity, not division. China and North Korea are extreme, but we are extreme too in the other direction, allowing everything in the name of freedom and the constitution, there are limits to the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, its called COMMON SENSE. I dont think any veteran thinks the flag and the anthem are more important than Constitutional rights, but I know most thinks the flag and the anthem should not be disrespected...again...Common Sense

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

@@charlesdai No they don't have to. There is no law that says anyone has to stand for the flag or anthem. Baseball players have kneeled. Olympic athletes have kneeled. Some have even sat through it. Basketball players have kneeled. Larry Bird used to lie on his stomach through the anthem. Haven't heard anyone saying he was disrespecting anything.

[@mimi2the4]

As a veteran I will always find him offensive

[@daddy152]

Mimi he never intended to offend veterans and it's not about disrespecting the flag or national anthem he was shedding light on an issue that needs to be address and this is how he chose to go about it I personally don't agree with kneeling however I do understand and thanks for your service

[@carlhicksjr8401]

Why? He's doing the most American thing in the world... protesting. And nobody is getting hurt, no property is being destroyed, and Kaepernick is putting his money where his mouth is. He lost his [very lucrative] job over this because he felt it was the right thing to do. Like you, MG, I'm a veteran and I honestly can't see the harm in someone publicly exercising the rights you, Nate Boyer, and I served to protect. I'm not trying to tell you how to feel. Your right to disagree is just as sacred as Kaepernick's. I'm just presenting another viewpoint for you to consider.

[@joemattox7525]

But he made the issue more about him than the actual issue at hand. Everyone started talking about rights to protest etc and forgot what the protest was about. Good intentions but bad outcome. As professional athletes, the people who are kneeling in protest could be doing so many other things to shed light on this issue and could actually be doing more. Like Boyer said in this video "we can always do better".

Nate Boyer is a great American . He is kind and decent . I hope to meet him and shake his hand one day . I respectfully do not agree with the soft stance on the former 49rs QB however . I’ll continue to be proud of men like Boyer who fought to keep us free and honors his country as he does . His story is inspirational .

[@BlueCollar1212]

I’m an army veteran. And a member of Merging Vets and Players. All of these years I’ve been Kap’s right to protest because of his conversion with a service members. I never knew that service member was the founder of MVP. The organization that saved my life. I hope I get to meet Nate again. I want to tell him how much that impacted my life and how I am more accepting of everyone because of it.

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

Well, some said Marshall Lynch, Colin Kaepernick, Erik Reid, Jeremy Lane, Carmelo Anthony, Megan Rapinoe AND EVERYBODY have to protest against Racism and Police violence! DON'T STAY SILENT ABOUT IT. Some people say it is constitution right to protest, but they should protest another way. Which way? There is no standard pattern of protest - the person, group, community do what calls to the heart and rise awareness to what's wrong.

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." That is the Oath of Service every member of the US Armed Forces takes when enlisting or re-enlisting. You notice what isn't in there? The Flag or the anthem. You notice what is? The US Constitution. Every man and woman that has died serving this country did so to protect the freedoms that you call Un American. You disrespect all of them by ignoring that fact. I took this oath and you have the right to disagree with me. I fought for that right too but if you continue to be a domestic enemy to the US Constitution just realize what the oath I made says I have to do.

[@johnadenharvey5987]

I am a young black man. I love this country’s flag. My great great great grandfather fought for it in the civil war and my great grandfather fought for it in WW2. One of my brothers even enlisted when he was younger. When those players kneeled, it wasn’t out of disrespect, I know that with all my heart. It was about preventing George Floyd and Jacob Blake. Black people have been beaten in the street in the U.S. by our own police force. It’s wrong and has to stop. So please don’t feel like we disrespect the flag, we are only trying to send a message. And Kaepernick knew that by doing it like that, it would get the most attention.

[@olacogumelo3789]

Except jacob blake abuse his kids and wife and reached for something in his car in front of the police. Racism is not an issue in this country and that's the truth. There is more racism towards white People rather than black people. I'm a hispanic viewing from in thr middle. White people are put down for thier color, which is sad, it's just color

How do you feel about what happened to George Floyd?

[@nicholasking9132]

Looking back on this issue, it seems people mistook the anthem for the pledge of allegiance. The anthem litterally has now lawful meaning and in no way should anyone have felt disrespected. Hate to break it to you folks, but it's litterally just a song about how beautiful the flag looked to Francis Scott Key.(the guy who wrote the star spangled banner, which is the national anthem, which some people don't even know, apparently).
