I am sure that Pat Tillman would be taking a knee if he was out there.
(Yes, that was sarcasm.)
I have the right to my own protest just as Kaepernick and the others have a right to protest, and if the NFL does this, I will show my disagreement by not watching a single game this year.
I am sure that most veterans (myself included) would say that "protest" is a valid way to stand for a cause, and rightful, at that. However, the venue for protest should be appropriate. If an NFL player wants to hold a press conference, fine.
...But. IMHO, what they are doing is called DISRESPECT for the country that supports them; that has given them all that they have.
Just my opinion. Yours may be different.
