DevilDog Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Now this is blatant disrespect during the Anthem. I am waiting for the real Americans to speak up about this. Oh i know none of you saw it since you are protesting by not watching the NFL. 😎 During Sunday’s national anthem, an as-yet-unidentified protester raised a “Stop Abortion / Vote Republican” sign and walked across the roof of AT&T Stadium’s field suites just prior to the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/protester-national-anthem-dallas-urges-fans-vote-republican-221825956.html Protester during national anthem in Dallas urges fans to 'Vote Republican' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying Marines are disrespectful by remaining in their cars while Colors is playing. While on an Army Fort the protocol is to get out face the music and Salute. If you didn't put the camera on the players you would never know it was a protest. This was full bore disrespect. But I'm used to the false comparisons like the Panthers and the KKK.

What's a Sportsnut? I didn't initiate his protest. I'm asking if this is disrespect and if those that oppose the Players see this in the same light. It's an actual article unless Sportsnut writes for Yahoo and others and asked the same question as I did. My response is from the article. Clearly you didn't read it. See if this points out what I said. str8 from the article thus the reason of my post. Has Nothing to do with Spotsnut. Player protests during the national anthem, which dominated the league most of last season, have dwindled to almost nothing, with most players choosing to focus their efforts on more productive, less provocative efforts. The protests — which were always silent, without signs or movement — drew sharp condemnation from a significant slice of America for being disrespectful, even unpatriotic. Of course, just like the players, the unnamed protester has the freedom to say whatever he wishes during the anthem (though he did trespass while doing so). However, a recent poll noted that 86 percent of Republicans were against the NFL players’ protests; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you reconcile those that kneel silently from those that decide to make a beer run to the concessions during the national anthem? Both are conscious decisions. One is for political reasons another is to satisfy a personal want. Do you feel the beer runner is just as egregious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the anthem is an entertainment spectacle? See, it boils down to life, and liberty. We each have an opportunity to choose our own path as long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of others. For starters the anthem is not an entertainment piece, it’s a time honored tradition for Americans to exercise their right and honor the flag. The fans right to do so was not impeded by kneeling.

It does not make me (or most I know) 'uncomfortable' at all... but it does make many much less empathetic to any cause...

That’s the problem, they aren’t imposing anything. People are still free to render respect to the flag free from extraneous noises or movements. That’s exactly right, protests usually impede others from doing something, so by definition the kneeling protests are extremely mild. A part of recognizing the flag is remembering those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our freedoms and way of life. That is not entertainment that is honoring their commitment and sacrifice. When your son goes on active duty (if he’s still choosing to do do) and serves a tour or two in Afghanistan or some other hot spot, let’s come back and revisit this and see if you still see the anthem as entertainment. Just sayin’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
