He shouldn't have done that in my opinion. All he did was just cause a ruckus for no reason. Sure, there is inequality in America and something must be done about it but, this wasn't the way to do it. He should have done something else to make a message. All he just did was insult the nationality and pride of America and the troops that help keep this country the way it is. Sorry for the rant.
Agreed. I accept his right to choose to do it. I accept that he is attempting to make a statement. I strongly disagree with the manner in which he is choosing to do it. Whether it is meant as a slap to that face of those who serve in the military or not, that is what it is.
This has nothing to do with the military, and exercising our freedom of speech to be critical of our country/government is the most American thing we can do. Having the right to do so is one of the main reasons we fought for independence.

He has the right to sit down. We have the right to not support him and speak out against him. Just because he has the right to do something, doesn't make him immune to criticism.
I don't see why it's such a big deal honestly.
"Oh because of the troops and vets."
Yo, if we really cared about them there would be better bills and laws for them so they were guaranteed a job when they got back, so we could get homeless vets off the streets, the VA didn't take 10K years to see them, and they were paid better for their service. But no, no instead of getting mad towards the treatment of our soldiers let's get mad because people don't declare their obedience to the country.
Meanwhile the North Dakota pipeline will destroy the ways of life for Native Americans and the media is too focused on him. They should focus on topics that matter. People will be affected by the pipeline when it breaks but nobody realizes the risks until it threatens their lives. It will affect Everybody but only the native Americans are protecting it.
Maybe if he focused on his real paying job (nfl quarterback) instead of activism his team would have more than 1 win this season, they are second last in the league.
