    I don't think it was disrespect. He was making a point. I happen to disagree with him but his rght to make his point is guaranteed under the First Amendment - one of the glories of the American Constitution.

  • There's a little bit of disrespect in any political protest. He's just using his rights to express his voice the best way he sees fit.

    They get paid millions to throw a ball around. That's the outrageous part.

    I'm with Louie here.  We may not like it but he has every right under the constitution to voice his displeasure & concerns in a non-violent way.  I don't think football, or any sport, has the right to dictate any player's conduct regarding the Anthem.  No one is breaking a law if they choose to not stand or repeat the pledge.  There are religions which forbid it and those people aren't looked at as being disloyal to their country.  Just as the guy who burned the flag was making a statement, so is Kaepernick. He is placing a spotlight on a problem that he feels strongly about.  If people don't like it, then they need to address & help correct the problem instead of complaining & becoming angry over his actions.

    My thoughts is that he can do what he wants to do. It in no way affects me.

    No more disrespectful than fans texting, having their hats on or players having chuckles and conversations during the Anthem.

    My thoughts are:

    What's = what is
    Therefore, the noun that follows should be singular.

    Next, the word "thoughts" is a plural noun. 

    The question should read, "What are your thoughts . . . "

    That is what I thought.  Oh, and that Big K has a right to express himself, but I don't think he should have drawn attention away from the game to do so.
