So we're hearing all this backlash against NFL players who may not stand for the national anthem on this day, the 15th anniversary of 9/11. What I see in this act is not disrespect at all but rather a demonstration of how divided a society we are. 15 years ago we were so united, and stood as one against a despicable act by a band of criminals. Now, 15 years later we have a divide on police shootings of minorities, a divide over Latino and Muslim immigration to the US, and an election which is only pounding that wedge further in. If NFL players choose to not stand for the national anthem, then this is only a sad comparison to 15 tears ago when so many NFL players of all colors stood with tears streaming down their faces as the anthem was played at the first game after 9/11.
