Well obviously you have the freedom to cry about how much of horrible a person he is for not wanting to stand. Hell, some of you guys even want to fine and suspend him. Do what you want. I never said you shouldn't do it or aren't allowed to. From my point of view I think It's a pretty laughable situation.
What are you exactly condemning? His unwillingness to stand during the National Anthem for a football game. Wow, you guys are true patriots for a great cause. A cause to force a man to stand up for the National Anthem, instead of respectively sitting quietly. The outrage is pretty ridiculous as is with most burning the flag & National Anthem topics.
So is the act of sitting down any less respectful then standing up? No i don't think so. He isn't depriving anybody elses right to stand or listen to the Anthem. This isn't North Korea you know. He is respectfully sitting down, silently, that's good enough for me. I think it's a wonderful symbol of freedom. Anybody should have the liberty to express themselves as long as it isn't infringing on the rights of others.
But what do i know? The freedom to try and pressure a guy through outrage to stand for the national anthem seems more reasonable to some of you.
Good day and keep fighting for the free cause.
It was disrespectful to the country that gave him his chances in life and some people don't like it. It is their right to voice their displeasure at his actions and to show that displeasure with their money.
People wanted some person fired because she said colored people by mistake.
