Are these NFL protests about;
1, Patriotism,
2, Free Speech,
3, Race.

You will get differing results based on those three subjects. As the original protest by Colin Kaepernick was about Race, then I would say the other two subjects are diversions and should be ignored.

Watching the Political Suicide of the Never Trumpers, Alt Left et al. Is both necessary and amazing to behold.

•Dolphins [Miami Football Team] owner Steve Ross now wants players to stand for anthem, coach Adam Gase makes it a rule•

“He’s [Trump] changed that whole paradigm of what protest is,” Ross during his CommUnity Tailgate gathering at Hard Rock Stadium before Sunday’s home opener against Tennessee.

In this case, Make Science... is correct.

Trump is playing all of you for fools and laughing all the way to his future re-election.

Stop going on about an Alt Left.
There is no such thing. It is a myth, It is a made up term to describe a group 45 and others wish did exist.
Which makes your post totally irrelevant.

Is taking a knee disrespectful?

Is taking a knee disrespectful?

No, in fact amongst many peoples, genuflecting is a sign of respect.

genuflect
verb
gerund or present participle: genuflecting

lower one's body briefly by bending one knee to the ground, typically in worship or as a sign of respect.

show deference or servility.

Using your own labels i.e., alt left, far right etc, describe Trump for us.

Is taking a knee disrespectful?

Since the Business of Football is no different. Is a political/social protest, in front of customers at a Fast Food Place appropriate?

Whether it is, or is not disrespectful.

Repeating:

Understanding that the Never Trumpers, Alt Left, et al, are sinking faster and faster in their attempt to defeat Trump.

Why are they continuing with their Political Suicide?

Sop repeating yourself. we heard you the first time.
And concerning flags.
I would say, especially to you. That the US is probably the most disrespectful nation on the planet by not dipping the flag.
It shows that the US thinks itself superior to everybody else. Which is total b*ll*cks.

You are the best allies that Trump, who I have described as Dangerous and Idiot, can have to be re-elected.

As dangerous as his predecessors?

Eisenhower
Kennedy
Johnson
Nixon

Hey Nick,

Ok, this is a new one on me. I'm not quite sure what is meant by "dipping the flag". Please explain. :)

You don't know what the US Flag code is?
U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag

(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

Also look up "Why The United States Doesn't Dip The Flag At The Olympics" when all other countries do.

I have the Flag code on this PC.

You brought up a topic I've not heard and you refuse to explain. Typical. Fine. What-fraking-ever.

If you already have the flag code and say you understand it. Then you explain why the U.S. is disrespectful to every other nation. The Olympics is the most obvious example.

Did I say I understand the code? No! I said I have it. I have not read it completely, but now that you bring this up, I shall.

Seems that not dipping started back in 1908 when the Irish team had to march behind the Union Jack instead of their own flag. I can totally understand that.

And, since Our Flag code states NOT to dip the flag to a person or a thing, we should break our own rules to satisfy you? Who's thinking themselves all high and mighty now? ;)

So you disrespect other nations over a "code".

So you disrespect other nations over a "code".

Kings don't deserve respect. Might get that from some taxes a king imposed some years ago.

<ed>I guess the UK would dip its flag for little rocket man.

Presidents do?

It seems that the new Hollywood sequel is doing well in the box office.

And many other countries has dipped its flag as well.

North Korea's Olympic team enters the stadium for the 2010 Winter Games. The country has not qualified for the 2018 Olympics.
