I can not agree or disagree. I think these players who are paid enormous sums of money, should shows leadership. So I do not want them to kneel during our national anthem. I don't think they should be allowed to skip it by staying in the locker room. They get the privilege to play and get paid the way they do because of those who gave so much to this country. And by kneeling they show disrespect to those who gave.
On the other hand they deserve to have free speech just like everyone else.
I don't support what they do and believe they should find a different venue and time to express their views. So I chose not to watch or support the sponsors who buy their time to allow it.
There is a time and place for everything. Protesting as they do is the wrong time and the wrong place.
