At least you acknowledge that there are some times when protesting is not appropriate.  I pity you that you can not see that during the national anthem is one of them.  Especially the way the NFL did it yesterday and especially starting it overseas.   They showed great disrespect for the flag and the country.  It is supposed to be a time that we show unity FOR the country, not against it.   In case, you have not figured it out, I think Trump was 100% correct with his statements.  If you think it is appropriate to protest during the national anthem, how about in the middle of the game at midfield?  Maybe at Autzen when the Ducks are in the middle of a big play?
