As you many have heard, there were protests during the playing of the US anthem at various sporting events around the US as many chose not to stand. So what were you doing during the playing of the national anthem?
Was it anything like this?

There is enough good here in the US (actually or hoped for ideals) to stand for the anthem. Use the time to ponder how to make our country better no matter what your political leaning.
I think if my teammate chose to kneel, I would <stand> next to him with my hand on his shoulder. My decision to stand, but respecting his decision to kneel in protest.

But it also may be the start of a debate. Google 'Tommy Smith 1968 Olympics'.

I guess as an American citizen you have the that right. Many died to give you that right!
Who is the President shouldn't matter, even if he is a loose cannon.

Stop being so childish calling names that makes you look ignorant actually!
As an American you should be flying the U.S. flag and you know it, or at least you should know it.
As a Canadian I fly the Canadian Flag. It would not matter who my Prime Minister was!!!

According to Alex Jones' podcast for Monday 25th September, the players going down on one knee signalled their support for ~ among other things ~ female genital mutilation, North Korea, and systematic child rape by the Democrats and "globalists" funded by George Soros.

Why is the national anthem played at a club game anyway? It's not the USA playing, it's Hicksville vs Crappytown. You Americans get upset about all the wrong shlt at the wrong times.
