Robert said it well. These players ARE disrespecting the flag and those who fought and continue to fight for their freedom. The phrase "spoiled brats" comes to mind. If they want social change, get OFF their knees and DO something to help the plight of children in inner cities. By continuing to kneel they continue to push away the fans. I know longer watch the game I never missed. I know longer buy team jerseys or other items for my grandchildren. Sure, I am only one person, but I am one among many.
