You don’t want to answer the question because kneeling isn’t disrespectful, sitting is. Kneeling is actually respectful but also conveys a message of distress and hurt - that’s the point he is making by kneeling. Everyone else gets the message except the Trump people and your opposition is actually a form of support for the status quo of the racial disparity in the justice system.

I'm a vet (gulf war), are you? I may not agree with the methods, but Colin K has every right to do what he does.
He does NOT have the right to do what he does while on the job on his employers premise (which is why he no longer works for the NFL). You do not have "free speech" in your employers workplace when it offends the majority of customers. As noted in many news reports - even activity that offends people while not on the job is grounds for immediate employment dismissal.
And this is the difference between patriotism and nationalism. Patriotism stands up for the ideals of our country, even when we don’t agree with the methods. Nationalism tries to force tribal ideologies on free people. You, Mr. Constitutionman, deserve a tip of the hat.
