        If they want to do something to help fix a problem, why not go to communities that feel the racial injustice the most. Get involved there.

        Many of them have. Kaepernick, who started the protest, has donated 800K to different charitable organizations.http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/08/colin-kaepernick-nfl-national-anthem-protest-one-million-dollar-pledge-donations-empower-communities …

        They're asking for justice for unarmed black men killed with impunity by racist police, not a hand out.

        First of all, these protests are about police violence against black people.

        Secondly, even if these were acts of political dissent, trying to *silence* political dissent is, itself, un-American.

        In short, unwrap yourself from the flag. Stepping on someone's neck and force them to salute the flag is fascism.

        No that was political grand standing. And it is their constitutional right to protest. If you bothered to learn you’d know the protest isn’t

        Against the actual flag or the anthem. But despite what they’re protesting. It’s their right to do so.

        This is not a fascist society so trying to force people to act a certain way during the anthem is wrong.

        The VP also has a right to protest.He, like millions of Americans find the players method of protesting offensive and have stopped watching.
