There is a Youtube link I encourage you all to watch!
Notes:
Colin Kaepernick would not stand for the National Anthem, now more players are following suit. Now everyone has the right to protest to effect change, although one would think very rich sports stars would also have the financial means to to start making the changes themselves by supporting and helping out the very causes they believe in.
They might even try something like voting. There is no perfect Country, and all Countries by today standards have dark parts of their history. We should not always judge with today's standards, but we should also not erase history just because we don't like it. We should learn and grow from it. The flag for many represents the millions who have enlisted and fought for this Country. Not for what it is, but for what they wanted it to become. Many soldiers died for that cause.
You don't have to like your current leader, or agree with all things, you live in a free country where you can work to effect change without disrespecting those who died for you to have that right. A point of interest, many of those who kneel during the Anthem, didn't even vote, the very basic of responsibilities in any democracy, shame on them.
I am not American, I just think all men and women who serve their nation whatever nation whatever free nation that happens to be should behonored and repsected!
