Patriotism is not demanding that people stand for the National Anthem.
Patriotism is supporting the First Amendment rights of those who choose not to.

Trump isn't going to get his way with this, the NFL isn't owned by the GOP.
The NFL needs to grow a pair and lay down the law but all they really care about is MONEY. The public will have the final say in this issue either with their feet or their wallets.
How about just worrying about the football game, remember the reason you’re watching? If you’re getting worked up over pregame stuff, maybe you shouldn’t be watching football, go attend or watch an event more fitting.
Many players like @AaronRodgers12 (who do not kneel) vocally defend rights of players to exercise that freedom. Trumps offensive against sports could backfire. Note, when owners caved, players did not.
A man who hid when his country called his number now hugs a flag in fake show of patriotism and dares to educate those of us who served about patriotism, Wow
Why are we still seeing the protests during our National Anthem? What is wrong with these players and the NFL?
Nothing wrong with players; ask what is wrong with shooting unarmed black men, you will find your answer there! Signed: Retired US Army!
Nothing at all though about 1400 Americans who perished after the hurricanes....
Until it changes I’m not watching or buying anything affiliated with the NFL meanwhile I’m riding with the NBA
If the NFL follows Trumps advice they will cause major problems, it's called Free Speech NFL. Remember, Trump was a Draft Dodger !
@nfl @nflcommish —national anthem— players keep doing what you do best...kneel...if, ‘not my president’ can make his mate’s parents citizens (who knows if their her real parents)...players stay united...
The National Anthem is now sung with sadness - Trump has tainted it.
Trump is so corrupt & has abused the office and denigrated so many fine agencies within our government
Hope our democracy survives.
#VoteGOPOut
The Owners need to Man Up and Stop Acting like Cowards Country First not Politics we pay for a Game not their Crying how Ungreatfull Your Fired Traitors......
Let’s not lose site of the fact that the Defense Department PAYS the #NFL MILLIONS of dollars per year to promote the #USMilitary.
Americans have the right to protest. But players should do it on their own time! When they put that uniform on, they are on the job. How many of us have employers that allow political statements and protests while on the job? Fans want football and are tuning out the message.
Did you feel the same way when teachers went on strike, during the school year?
