Both of them would have loathed his disrespect of our anthem. Both of them would have willingly died for his right to show that disrespect. One of the greatest things about America is the right to free speech. We can protest. We can say vile things. We can be verbally stupid, mean, kind .... That's not true in all countries.

You have a valid point.
I am a combat Vet and I believe that one has the right to be an ignorant @sshole if he wishes. I also believe that patriots have the right to condemn him if they wish. Many of us have earned the right to criticize that spoiled, entitlement mentality poser, that has no clue as to how great of a country he lives in. Like you, I believe it is a publicity stunt on his part, based on his desperation. He knows that they are getting ready to can his butt and he is attempting to put a racist slant on it.
He is a loser and patriots really should ostracize him.
Vets believe in his right, but they do NOT endorse his view. It is his right to protest anything he wishes, but it is everyone else's right to disagree with him. I am sure that the NFL will need no more encouragement to can him when they are ready in a couple of weeks. I doubt he has helped his case.
