I have been following this quite a bit. I know that many players in the NFL are protesting the National anthem because of what they believe to be racial Inequality. Also President Trump has given his point of view saying that “would you love to see an owner say “get that SOB off the field” because he feels it is disrespectful to our country.

All I know is that players are taking a knee and some people don't like it.

Ive read both sides of the argument and can see the validity for both, but personally agree with the more left-leaning views.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve read several articles about the protests and the motivation behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve mostly seen posts on social media and a few news reports. I guess this a form of “Peaceful protests” but rather many are saying it’s disrespectful to police officers and military personnel.

The taking a knee controversy is over whether the NFL players have the right to take a knee during the National Anthem. Owners have started to penalize the player who don’t stand and show respect to the country’s soldiers who are serving.

I understood how NFL players are upset about the comments from President Donald Trump. A lot of people are angry about because some of them think it is disrespectful for the service men. I think if everyone has responsibilities of their acts, it is okay to do the protests.

# data[].attributes.body
People are very split on whether or not kneeling is unpatriotic or disrespectful. This is a very heated topic and needs to be taken seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand why people feel racist from American people.

# data[].attributes.body
Is there even a problem?

# data[].attributes.body
I understand now that many feel strongly on this topic

# data[].attributes.body
What I fell is people are arguing that it’s unpatriotic but in fact it not necessarily the case because patriotism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does in that case they aren’t being unpatriotic do to the fact they aren’t proud of the state the country is in however there actions are unnationalistic because nationalism is being proud of ones country no matter what it does.

Also by punishing protesters isn’t legal because there are federal laws on the books — particularly in the anti-discrimination arena — that say that employers are responsible for preserving a workplace that does not intrude on people’s rights based on their gender, their race, their religion, etc.

I learned this isn’t the first national sports team protest.

I understand that race was a key part of this issue.

After reading articles about this topic, the understanding of the fact that the players are not trying to be disrespectful, but they are just trying to prove a point, which in turn shows disrespect.

I now understand that NFL players really aren't trying to be disrespectful of the people who are fighting for our country, but more so to prove a point.

I understans more about why people don't like it when others kneel, and how some people feel like kneeling isnt the best way to protest.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading articles, I realized that there is more people than I thought involved in the whole situation. And it started become more towards a racial issue.

Teams are now not even going out to the field during the national anthem and staying in the locker room. Nick
