Politics, race, religion? Those subjects always cause a lot of controversy. Hard to get any group together when it comes to those things.
Back to the original topic... I'm not against people speaking their mind. I'm all for the freedoms we have in this country. What was done didn't hurt anyone other than one football player who decided to be disrespectful to a lot of people of many different races. Personally I think it is just another athlete losing his attraction looking for a way to still be important. At the same time there are many top professional athletes drawing attention to all the senseless killing, but they are still standing up and showing respect for our Flag and our National Anthem. Yes, he has the right to do what he did. In America we have all kinds of rights. To me, that is what our flag stands for.
