Maybe that's why OSU played the anthem before the players were out of the locker room on Saturday?

Obviously the guy is handicapped, he is wearing a Cavs shirt at a Bears vs Eagles game.

But also, look at everyone in that photo, only 8 people are recognizing the flag, everyone else is handling a camera, talking, turning around to look at the protesting players, #22 looks like he is about to break into the robot. The hypocrisy is comical.

I've noticed that at other events . People texting during the anthem. Can't wait 2 minutes ?

Most folks aren't upset about the flag being disrespected. They are upset about being reminded of a problem in society which they don't feel is worthy of their attention.

Doug Baldwin finally bringing to the discussion exactly what I've been waiting for. Impressive.

I'm much happier reading about players using their fame to make positive changes in the world rather than reading about players using their fame to destroy their own lives and those of their loved ones. I'll take 4000 stories about Kaepernick taking a knee over a story about Richie Incognito or Pacman Jones doing something awful and ignorant.

I said somewhere in this thread or another one that I thought taking a knee was less disrespectful than milling around or talking during the national anthem, both of which you see players and people doing all the time.

Don't label me.

*walk in restroom at sporting event to relieve myself during national anthem/intro of players*

Me: *should I switch to beer or keep pounding bourbon?*

Loud hick: you heard about that high school that took a knee during the anthem last night? *to other loud hick friend*

Other loud hick: ha, yeah, trump will fix that

Me: *man, who ever is singing this national anthem is struggling*

Loud hick: what you drinking, it's on me

Other loud hick: I'll stick with Bud

Me: "murica"

Moral of the story, Budweiser is just awful. Also, leaking the lizard during the national anthem isn't disrespectful because I was still standing. But all those women that were relieving themselves at that time need some Jesus in their life.

You know, if Gladiators decided not to salute Caesar before the games, Rome would have fallen.

I thought Rome fell because of PC culture.

When asked by Couric how she feels about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and others athletes, refusing to stand for the anthem, Ginsburg replied, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s really dumb of them.&#8221;
&#8220;Would I arrest them for doing it? No,&#8221; Ginsburg elaborated. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it&#8217;s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn&#8217;t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.&#8221;
Couric then asked, &#8220;But when it comes to these football players, you may find their actions offensive, but what you&#8217;re saying is, it&#8217;s within their rights to exercise those actions?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; said Ginsburg. &#8220;If they want to be stupid, there&#8217;s no law that should be preventive. If they want to be arrogant, there&#8217;s no law that prevents them from that. What I would do is strongly take issue with the point of view that they are expressing when they do that.&#8221;
