[QUOTE="CountryFrog, post: 2902618, member: 70667"] I never understood the level of outrage on either side of this. I personally would never kneel during the anthem nor do anything at all other than honor the flag. I would also never advise anyone else to kneel. So I fully understand why people disagree with it. Yet it also doesn't bother me even a little that it is done. That doesn't mean it might not bother anyone else though and I would never tell someone "don't be offended." It's not my job to decide what others should feel strongly about and what they shouldn't. I will say though that all of the people with such a strong backlash to the kneeling are only fueling the fire. If everyone had just kind of shrugged their collective shoulders about Kaep kneeling then this whole thing may be dead today. It's the combative nature of the disagreements between the sides that has continually escalated this thing. Now it seems to be as much about these athletes just wanting to show everyone that they can and will unite together in their kneeling no matter how much it pisses people off as much as it is about police brutality.
