mikeusa Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 so we are bitching over same thing that is so stupid like the NFL players kneeled before the national anthem please explain to me how is that disrespect or a protest to my opinion kneeling is showing respect for this country and those who serve you are showing respect for the flag and what it represents like freedom to express yourself to speak your mind we have the freedom to do all most what we want... let me get back to freedom to express yourself is that what the NFL players are doing right now locking arms kneeling. now I do not see it as disrespect I see it as respect not a protest either.. we as Americans have the right to express yourself there is no law that states that you should stand during the national anthem. here a fact for you all in 1931 president Herbert hoover signed a law that made the star spangled banner our official national anthem if same one kneels or take some other posture when the national anthem is played it is part of our right to freedom of expression so Donald trump is wrong at this one all so and the same goes for those who are bitching about the NFL players kneeling. how pathetic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAGNAR Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 As for Trumpito to tell them to 'fire' the players,it is illegal,where does this come into play if you want to start stating laws and rights to a private organization? This is just the beginning of the end of our rights as american citizens,this is a non-violent protest,yet neo-nazis and kkk can rally in our streets freely without this much chatter? WTF is wrong here? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/227 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyone Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS OUR AMERICAN RIGHT. Yes it is--if Bill Russel wants to take a knee as he did in this picture--that is ok by me Or anyone else who wants to protest on a knee or arm in arm. JUST DO NOT DO IT WHEN OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYING THAT DISRESPECTS ALL WHO FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR THIS RIGHT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry,you can't pick and choose a time when it's ok,then you are limiting our rights. http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2017/09/26/patriots-and-protesters-should-take-a-knee-for-the-constitution/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just answered my question with your statement. It does not matter to you whether or not you are being disrespectful to another person---your freedoms come first. Make sure you let your kids know that if they disrespect you or a teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with happyone, funny how in other countries people are proud of their flag. As Americans you have rights, but DON'T disrespect the AMERICAN FLAG.

mikeusa Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 wait so kneeling is disrespecting the American flag how is that disrespect? are the NFL players wearing the U.S. flag as a cape now that's disrespect so we as American do not have the right to kneel while the natural anthem is playing what the NFL players are doing by kneeling is freedom to express yourself 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
