I am trying to get people to look at these NFL and NBA players rather than making everything something it is not.
Tal.

The original player, Kaepernick, knelt in protest of police officers treatment of black people, or so he said. I understand his feelings but I don't understand nor can I support his actions. I don't think anyone is "playing at being patriotic at the moment". Many of us have lived in different times than you. Decades longer than you and have a long history of patriotism.
