  1. Nan, 

    Some of our professional football players (and some ahtletes in other sports too) go down on one knee instead of standing with their hand over their heart when our National Anthem is played before sporting events. The athletes claim they are doing this because of social injustice  in the U.S. To many of us, however, we perceive this as an insult to our Flag and our Country. I, and many others, believe that while there may be social injustice (and it is debatable exactly what they mean by that) they are dishonoring all the military personnel that have died protecting the American way of life. After all, these pro athletes are are making millions of dollars because our country is the way it is. While I agree that these athletes have the right to free speech and the right to protest, they are going about it in the wrong way. Instead of bringing people together to work on fixing the problems, they are dividing the country even more. That, in a nutshell is what "taking a knee" is all about.
