I know this is extremely off topic but I'm interested in your opinions on this polarizing issue. A lot of professional athletes in this country have come under scrutiny for kneeling or taking a knee during the anthem to protest various perceived injustices.

Obviously President Trump put his two cents in and condemned it as "disrespectful". Problem is we don't how much of Trumps opinion is early campaigning /pandering, payback for the way the NFL shafted him when he tried to be an owner, or just outright misdirection to keep our focus off bigger issues. Some people hate it outright and some people invite the protest but detest the method and platform.

What do you guys think? Honestly I could give a **** if you spin around and dump a bucket of applesauce on your head during the anthem, it makes no difference to me what others do. I know I like to stand and cross my heart but if some even in a position of representing a franchise(pro athletes), want to protest that way, good on them.

That's a right the military is supposed to be fighting for. Instead a lot of people are wagging their finger "shame on you" thinking these athletes are disrespecting the military.

What do you think?
