A lawyer's thinking and way of breaking things down and steering their point of view is commendable when they are supporting your case but seem dopey when it is against things that the majority of American hold dear. If this idiot won a Gold medal in the Olympics and sat when the Medals were awarded that would be an epic failure. What the hell is different other that the venue? I rest my case.

There have been Olympic athletes who have done something like this and usually to voice concern about the treatment of blacks.
I volunteered in a Veterans Hospital for a year in Reno, Nevada and have read a lot of history including military bios and most soldiers fight for the people immediately around them and often dislike the military brass especially if they put them in harm's way often for their own glory.
I do not see most people in the US thinking that not standing at the National Anthem disrespects the military. It does disrespects the powers that be.
I love how Jesse Owens showed up the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics. Any patriotism towards Nazi Germany was something to be sneered at.
