@davidkruse4030 "I am not sure why they couldn’t stand for their own national anthem."
Some of them did stand. Some didn't. That's life. No one is forced to stand and sing. That's freedom. Welcome to the United States.
"I don’t care about their political views."
And I don't care about yours, but here you are. So what was their grievance? Been a while, so I had to look it up. You ever bothered to see what some (and only some) of the team was upset about?
They said: "Being a gay American, I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties."
And that's why they didn't want to sing and praise the flag. Makes sense to me.
"They represent the nation and play a sport."
A human being doesn't cease to be a human being, just because they're playing a sport, or singing a song, or whatever else you feel they should shut up and do.
"Plus those women are no saint themselves."
Neither are you a saint. You are human, and so are they. You assume you're right, and so do they. Sounds to me like they're like you, only you allow yourself to use your political thinking, but you don't allow them to use theirs...because they represent the nation. But so do you. You're representing it right now.
