    have some respect. you're not making a change by refusing to stand for the singer, our flag, and the country. imagine a jay-z or beyonce concert where everybody just sat down. at minimum, have respect towards another musician.

    Just like a majority of Americans, watching it in our homes

    everyone making an uproar about this s--- are the same ones who sit while they watch it at home on television

    I would never personally sit for the anthem, but I don’t get the outrage against it either. If they state they aren’t protesting the military then idk why people pretend like they are. Tbh, the national anthem shouldn’t even be sung before sports games, or at least televised.

    the best part about America is the fact that people can sit down if they choose to, there’s freedoms to do whatever you want. It’s always funny to me when the people that claim they’re “patriots” say things like, “it should be mandatory to stand for the anthem,” like that statement isn’t in and of itself anti-American. If we were forced to stand, we’d be no better than a dictatorship.

    Standing for the national anthem doesn’t do anything either, it literally doesn’t matter either way.

    Let's not give them attention. A small minority is applauding this. They just look like assholes to most.

    More people are talking about the issues that the players kneeled for, therefore, undoubtedly, more people have chosen to take action to make a change.

    They're representing the voiceless in a peaceful way. What's the issue?

    I don't get it when people get up in arms over it. Don't be mad at them, be mad at the media for making a mountain out of a molehill.

    EDIT: Or should I say, be mad at the people responding to them not standing with whatabout-isms. Outrage for the sake of outrage.
