Some feel if they explain why the players were doing what they did, that makes it OK to act disrespectfully.

And of course the media and the ever present camera is always there to amplify any resistance activity. It is noteworthy how they conveniently avoided the counter protesting fans in the audience.
Funny how that works.

Just another deterioration and watering down of America's core values.

I think it is more of an issue of manners and the old "time and place for everything".

It is like a person who has had a bad marriage disrupting a wedding.

We are boycotting the NFL, and I have discontinued the NFL ticket. Additionally, we will no longer purchase Nike brand items in response to their support of the players.

If our current POTUS was a true leader he would call Colin Kaepernick & other players, coaches & team owners to the WH for a frank discussion & listen to their issues & concerns. Instead he chooses to add fuel to the fire with his juvenile, bullyish tweets, and only widens the division that currently rocks our country. Sad.

a reasoned response, not driven by "mob think" - do you realize what you say. I have Kevlar if you need it.

Do you mean like using the term SOB has a time and place?

Sometimes it might be quite appropriate!
Maybe the protesters should go to Chicago to protest
daily killings that occur there!
It will never happen!
I grew up, and lived there for many years,
and sadly high murder rates have been an
accepted way of life there
for so many years!

No NFL for me Monday or tonight, and most likely
until the NFL players find another way to air their protests.

Not watching. The players are privileged. If they don't respect the flag and the veterans, go to another country.

Watched and will continue watching.
