WTG Rockcastle, happier that you won with this shameful behavior from Moore than any other win last night! Coming from a military family this has been a really tuff thing to watch coming from a sport that I love. Not one single person, behavior or law is changed by this disrespectful act by players refusing to stand for the National Anthem. Absolutely no measurable successful outcome comes from doing this in my opinion. All it does is corrupts the usually fun patriotic atmosphere before a football game. You sure do not get any measure of respect by showing disrespect. Proud of the ROCK!!!

I can relate to that statement. I was a teenager in the 60s, so I'm not foreign to demonstrations. I always appreciate peaceful demonstrations and support the right to do so.

However, I just cannot reconcile this format!! My father in law lost both legs in WWII, and my husband is a Vietnam veteran. He still suffers from PTSD that he has had for 40+ years. It makes me want to puke when I see the obvious disrespect to a nation that affords them the RIGHT to protest.

What are we teaching our young people??
