Sorry and disrespectful to the millions of veterans over this nations history who have made the ultimate sacrifice to not only protect this country, but to ensure that individual freedoms that we enjoy. I'm fully supportive of individual right to protest, but the national anthem is not the right venue. God bless America, and thank you veterans for your service.
Sorry and disrespectful is the treatment the minority veterans received before and after serving in war..from WW1 to Vietnam. Individual freedom hasn't been for every American Old Sarge!!
The kneeling is the perfect example of exercising your right to kneel or stand it has nothing to do with disrespecting the military but bring awareness to the injustices that minorities face.
Your proper venue may be different from others, but before you call it sorry and disrespectful...maybe you should stand in another mans shoes before you pass judgement.

I've stayed out of this argument for weeks...but to me the person doing the kneeling is disrespecting themselves as much as this country they should love....My God people do we not realize we live in the greatest country on this Earth?? Is it perfect?? No... Are people sometimes wronged?? Yes..........Show me somewhere else in this world you would prefer to live...................
The person disrespecting themselves and this country? Let me guess, You must be a older or middle aged white male? If so this country has been really great to you..your entire life on this earth. I hear no struggle in your voice so you should feel 100% proud of America!
I support that ref and anyone else that whats to kneel, stand, moonwalk, or butterfly during the anthem. I'm starting to think that anyone thats making a big deal about someone kneeling for injustices are in support of injustices.

I haven't heard that. You heard it from the same people including yourself that think Obama was going to take your guns and your unpatriotic confederate l flag.
