I'm a hard core republican that has canceled my Indiana colts season tickets for myself and my customers for kneeling bs, but that's some bad parenting on the kicker's part.
This bullshit of vilifying protest, is childish peer pressure on a political scale.
The soldiers of WW2 fought against a state that demanded blind loyalty. If you want to live in states that vilify dissent and shame, try Saudi Arabia or North Korea.
The ritual is just that. The Constitution and oath of office are LAW, and part of that is upholding the individual's free speech, kneeling isn't dishonoring that concept, it is not saying those who do it hate America. It is very American to speak to power and point out problems.
I vomit when I read posts like this knowing you'd look at the history footage of this, then bitch about Americans protesting here. Is this what you want America to become?
