By taking a knee during the Anthem, those players are protesting about how black people are treated by police.
Unfortunately, by taking a knee during the Anthem, they are also disrespecting all of those soldiers that died. Those protesters can't have it both ways. There are millions of active & veteran military that see it as a sign of disrespect.
If those protesters took a knee before or after the anthem, then their protest only applies to their original intent. Since they are doing it during, then they are essentially doing two protests, even if they say they are only doing one.
The Dallas Cowboys kneeled before the anthem, and then stood for it. Wingnuts went pissy and sputtered about disrespect anyway.
So yeah. This is nothing but peole who don't want to confront the original message using the "disrespect the anthem" thing as a distraction from it.
