Today, I listened to my heart. I felt an overwhelming amount of emotion as I stood there during the National Anthem. My brother, and many close friends have sworn to protect this country at all costs, and that means something to me, as does the flag and our nation.pic.twitter.com/eGJrWNIUvk
The Black Lives Matter movement also means a hell of a lot to me. What has been and continues to go on in our country is inexcusable and flat out wrong. I will continue to use my voice, my platform and my family’s resources to commit to helping make a change.
I’m incredibly thankful for the love and support from my teammates, the Miami Heat organization, my family, and friends who know me. They know my heart and where I stand. I’ll leave you with this - it’s OKAY to be BOTH. I can stand proud in my beliefs and also support BLM. 
Thank you Meyers Leonard. 
It's all a matter of perspective then. You definitely mean no harm. I can see that. However, I guarantee that if you were knowledgeable on the history of the country's "motives" rather than just it's mere "history", you would be kneeling also.
Unfortunately we are yet to achieve what the flag represents (unity, freedom, etc.) But you're probably thinking of it in reverse. We're not kneeling against what the flag represents, we're kneeling against what doesn't represent the flag.
My recommendation is do some research. The Department of Justice has an array of data on crime. You play with mostly Black athletes who have one narrative and that is victimization. There is an issue when black men 16-34(5% of population) commit nearly 40% of homicides.
Im proud of you for doing what you feel is right without fear. The flag has different meanings to each of us. You're not telling others to stand, you're honoring your beliefs as others honor theirs. Kneeling isn't an attack on the military & standing isn't an attack on BLM. 1LOVE
