It may not have been about our national symbols to them, but it was to millions of Americans. They could have gotten their message out in a plethora of different ways and different times (as absurd as it is considering all the rights and benefits they have in 2017) but chose to disrespect our national symbols. We don't need to be lectured from clueless millionaires. This is a wonderful nation which has given so  much to so many! They can't go back now and try to whitewash it as some kind of twisted "unity" about inequality. They should be kissing the ground of the U.S. in gratitude for the opportunities and freedom this country has given to them. Disgraceful and disgusting. We are done with the NFL or anyone who disrespects our nation and her symbols. That is OUR anthem and OUR flag. Shame on them!
