LadySkinsFan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Here's some history. https://www.digipo.io/wiki/mac/When-did-we-begin-standing-for-the-National-Anthem.htm The NFL didn't require it until 2009. It was originally used in the military because some senator thought there should be a show of respect by the military. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) And oh, there's the literal interpretation of the flag in case anyone was wondering.... http://www.usflag.org/colors.html Yeah, about that "Innocence" and "Justice" part. Seems familiar... Edited October 7, 2017 by Mr. Sinister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, nonniey said: I'm not telling people they can't be disrespectful of the country as a means of protest. That is their right. The point being is that Kap and the others are kneeling because they believe the country doesn't deserve their respect (Jeez guys - it is not hard to understand that. Saying otherwise is twisting yourselves into pretzels to explain the action). Bottomline - Why do people stand for the Anthem? It is to show respect. Not standing for the anthem is withholding that respect. Simple as that. Ok fine. What do the flag and the Anthem stand for? Edit: Also, if you find me a quote of Kap saying he doesnt think the country deserves respect then i will conside that point. Otherwise you are making it up. He specifically took a knee instead of sitting because he thought it was more respectful. He said this. If you are ignoring that fact you are lying to yourself and trying to lie to me.

LadySkinsFan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Should I show respect for a country that doesn't have an Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution?

Gives me chills, makes me wanna jump around, at the gym it gives me a huge adrenaline rush. Love it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The war ravages on with no end in sight. Some call Afghanistan the forever war but they know not of what they speak on. This war on Christmas is the true forever war. No foreign wars will ever compare to the indignity we suffer when someone says happy holidays or our coffee cups change color. If I don't come back please make sure my death was not in vain. Everytime you say Merry Christmas please stress out the phrase so people know you're a free woman. Yours Truly, Bubba Joe. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladyskins fan at least you understand the reason people stand for anthems unlike several other posters on this page. Again I ask all of you (Except Ladyskins fan). Why do people stand for an anthem (any anthem)? I expect I'll get the same deflections. Edited October 8, 2017 by nonniey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
