It they want to do something about people showing disrespect during the national anthem they should start with most of the people who try to sing it.

I always thought the national anthem at sporting events was weird as hell. There is nothing about sports that makes me feel particularly nationalistic, especially against two American teams.

Like international play, do the national anthem. Why the gently caress do we do it before literally every domestic sporting event? Its weird.

Hmm maybe because the anthem kicks rear end and is about kicking British rear end in war and sports are like war in a way

Its pretty clearly not about kicking rear end

Its about getting your rear end kicked super hard and at the end shouting "You never got me down Ray"

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
The only time I ever did the pledge was when I was taking french in high school and I only did it to practice my french.

I think it worked because I can still say the pledge in french today.

That's my story

Hasn't Kaepernick been sitting during the Anthem since week 1 of the preseason? It just didn't blow up until now because he didn't get game time until week 3. I'm surprised no one caught that until now

Kaepernick is honoring America and the soldiers who died defending it by representing America's sacred values of political expression and the right to stand by your own moral mandate

The Pledge of Allegiance is a really creepy thing when you think about the words, and making school children all over the country say it every morning is bordering on Orwellian.

You wanna sing about how great your country is? Fine, whatever. But swearing allegiance to the bureaucracy of the nation is absurd.

Why does Kaepernick get to blame people who never owned slaves or did bad things for Americas past. This seems racist itself. Lets let bygones be bygones. He was raised white trash in Turlock or something like that anyway. Obama has really harmed race relations in this country. Things used to be really chill.
