Im stuck in the middle because it is disrespectful to do but it is also showing a form of peaceful protest. Either way it is rude towards people fighting for this country, but I understand the reasons people do it

I think that if they don't support what is happening in america then they should be able to protest celebrity or not.

# data[].attributes.body
because it's a way for everybody to know when a country is not doing it well with its citizens

# data[].attributes.body
but them cops be doing to much stuff. more than wat they r supposed to be doing. and the funny thing is all the people these cops be pulling over and all that stuff is always to different colored people and almost no white people
the cops need to be doing their job the correct way and to be equal to everyone and not just whites. EVERYONE needs caring for and love. matter a fact EVERYONE NEEDS FREEDOM because if we dont then we have no nation to be in or to live in or to even visit this soon to be crocked place if we dont change our ways as a nation

It is patriotic to stand up and sign the Anthem. citizens should always stand.

i would have to say i agree with the people who sit down during the athem because of the way the cops treat colores people and that makes me want to vomit

Everyone has a choice what they believe in.

I agree that the protest isn't really hurting anyone and people have the right to voice their own opinions and feelings. Even though I don't like that he was kneeling I see where he was coming from and I also agree that by him kneeling down on public television it was a good way to get his point across and his voice out there to try to help the problem.

They both have a point it is a tradition many can see why it would be inappropriate for them not to stand but the others also have a point because they are ignoring and letting people get away with murder so why should they stand for it.

it's not even that bad there is no harm at all doi
ng so mind your business

Its mostly

more respect if people follow the rule

The protesting is not hurting anyone but its just unpatriotic idk

People have the right to voice their opinions, and doing it in front of NFL fans across the country really gets the message out there and sparks conversation

The national anthem shouldn't even still be played at sporting events. This started to support WWII, a perfectly understandable cause. Now, it would be supporting the war in the Middle East. If one doesn't, which many don't, they have the right to kneel.

Yes, I find it sickening that people apparently have the right to be neo-nazis but can't kneel during the national anthem.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, it its a fundamental right to be able to protest. Although i dont really agree with the delivery of this message.

Refusing to Stand for the National Anthem is an Appropriate Form of Protest

# data[].attributes.body
Because it's important for people to speak out about important matters and sometimes people have to show their opinions in extravagant ways to get people to really see what's going on in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the country is oppressing people of color and creating conversation about this is great. I don't agree to doing this during the national anthem and they shoud have created conversation about this topic some other way

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because it shows the way people feel about the national anthem. It gives people the right to the freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, its obviously effective. people are engaging on whats going. a lot of people go to games so why not protest at one.

# data[].attributes.body
It is perfectly appropriate, we have a freedom of speech. Other than some people becoming offended, people not standing doesn't hurt anyone. People are going to become offended by other's opinions. We have a right to speak out or stand out for something we believe in.
