As far as the NFL players who wish to express their First
Amendment right of free speech, I support that right.
However, I do suggest that if they wish to make clear
what it is they are protesting, they should make it clear
by putting it in writing so all of us know the reason for
their action. Each person that has her/his own belief as
to honoring The National Anthem by standing during the
music can decide if the kneeling NFL players are right
or wrong.
All too often we see the actions of people and read into
the meaning of their action. Even when an individual
expresses a position on a topic the words have a way of
being interpreted in more than one way. The error of
thinking that all cultural customs, like standing for the
National Anthem, are the same for all cultures can cause
more trouble than one might expect.
Congress passed 36 U.S.C. § 301 without a penalty for
violating its guidance.
