Trump chimed in and as always is ignorant of the subject matter and blew up the entire situation just as JR said "it was settling down".So now what is the protest about,who knows,seems everyone has their own reason.What people have said is that Pat Tillman and many others have died defending a Flag that represents a Country that good or bad allows you to protest it "PEACEFULLY" any way you want.
Last and it's only my  Kapernick was not playing well when he decided to do this to bring attention to himself , he was not playing well and being a Vet is required to make a certain amount of money,he hasn't take a snap in over a year he is not a very good NFL QB. |
I agree with G1. In the beginning Kaep clearly said it was about police brutality and mistreatment of POC, now it seems like half the people are doing it just to protest Trump's statement. The people that want to make this about disrespecting the flag don't care about the original issue, because if they did they'd probably contribute more to the discussion besides "stop disrespecting the flag and the military." There is no time or appropriate place to bring attention to that cause, besides somewhere that doesn't interfere with anyone's life (and thereby makes it hard to bring attention to the cause).
