Now obviously, this is my own opinion.
I have gone back and forth with myself ever since the DREW BREES incident.
On one hand, being ex military, I fought for people to have the right to express their "freedoms". So, I am all for an expression of their personal beliefs.
On the other hand, people all over the country are being fired for "expressing" their personal beliefs (if it doesn't fit the democrats agenda).
So, do we truly have a right to express our beliefs and opinions or just those that fit a certain narrative? I didn't serve for "some" , I served for ALL.
Next, if people are subject to workplace rules (as those being fired are), why aren't NFL players subject to the same rules? Instead, the NFL, Nascar, etc etc are almost being forced to change what is acceptable (again due to an agenda).
Now some have come out and said it has nothing to do with the flag....
My question then becomes, so why do it during the flag and the anthem???
Long story short, for me, If they wish to kneel....fine.....do it after or before the anthem. However, I don't think this will suffice them as it DOES NOT FIT THE AGENDA.
Im curious to see how it plays out if and with NO crowds in the stands. You know it's often said you are not who you are when people are watching. The true measure of a person is your actions when nobody is watching. Well they may just get their chance!!
