Guess what? Not everyone does. I don't need a flag or some anthem to help fellow Americans. People should be allowed to disagree and kneel without having the president of all people calling them sons of bitches

 

Maybe Trump should get his head out of his ass and care about issues besides sports. For fuck's sake, when did Obama devote his time whining about conservatives or players who despise him?

Yeah congratz. I have no issue with people sitting or standing. I dont need more politics for the things I watch. Everyday and everywhere now its ridiculous. Trump needs to focus on the US and football players focus on football. Dont attack one person and not the other. 

That is the whole point of a protest.  It makes you who is comfortable uncomfortable.  If a protest made you comfortable then it did not do its job.  

As for Trump, he probably did the NFL a favor.  While he may be pandering to his base, he has unified the NFL on this whole topic.  He turned a small protest that probably would have lost steam in a year to being a national event by giving it more press. Should be interesting how this develop.
