Yes, I agree it's disrespectful to stay seated, but it's not against the law. We all have a right to our opinion and so does he whether we like it or not. He will pay the price for his decisions.

I always stand for the National Anthem and The Pledge. A lot of people stand for God Bless The USA. Sometimes I stand, sometimes I don't.

I also see people standing for Neil Diamond's Coming To America. I only do if I'm dancing.


I will not stand for anything but our National Anthem and the Pledge. I also think it's disgusting and disrespectful to clap and cheer after our National Anthem is played. You are to remain silent at the finish, then sit. Only the truly ignorant do otherwise.
