        Behavior is learned and having 8 yr olds do this when they have 0 clue is reprehensible.

        You're right about learned, like bigotry and intolerance for equality. So we teach our kids to fight it. I'm a proud vet and I don't stand.

        No 8 year old knowingly makes this decision and act like they know what's going on with the world. Parents should be ashamed

        Fire them for kneeling with their team? But let's not discipline or prosecute the police who are killing innocent people week in, week out?

        Fire them for being in a position of trust and teaching INNOCENT children to disrespect our American flag. Nothing to do with any cop issues

        Kneeling for the anthem isn't disrespectful in the slightest. I understand people don't like it, but the real crime is being committed 1/2

        People have a right to protest in whatever way they deem fit. What's really shameful is what police forces do week in, week out.

        911 isn't the emergency number where I live don't worry. Unfortunately, you can't deny that racism still exists and the atrocities that 1/2

        911 would have reached the Garda in Finglas South D 11 when I was growing up . Maybe they've changed their number over the last 30 years.
