Disrespectful To Kneel During The National Anthem
Current Events
It is disrespectful to kneel during the National Anthem because of the people in the military and their families.
It is disrespectful to kneel during the National Anthem because of people in the NFL started kneeling and taking it out of context. To me it is disrespectful because I have family members that were in the military, army, and air force. My cousin Chris was in the military, my brother Martavious is in the Army, my cousin Andre, that’s in the Navy, and my church family Jarod that’s in the military. Michael Strahan say’s when Collin Kaepernick was kneeling it was a distraction for the team and a personal reasoning but his reasoning was legitimate. Strahan said he stood up for something for a lot of people not just for himself, and it’s right or wrong to some people. Spike Lee supports him because it was for a reason, but now it is not. The players now during it because they are protesting a tweet by Donald Trump saying they should be fired for not standing for the National Anthem. Spike Lee says “Anti-Gun violence, people running around screaming they don’t won’t their 2nd Amendment violated,” and what rights people can give us. In a quote in Jackie Robinson’s biography say’s “I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag. I know that I am a black man in a white world.” Spike Lee also said that Kaepernick did was using his platform to say there is a problem but …show more content…
there will be a consequence of that action. It is a personal choice to stand for the National Anthem.
It is a personal choice because they are exercising their first amendment rights of freedom of speech, and other things. Some stood for the National Anthem and others knelt or didn’t leave the locker room during the National Anthem. One player from the Pittsburgh Steelers stood out from the tunnel because he said he was a former Army Ranger and it was disrespectful to him and his family and he could not just sit there in the locker room with the National Anthem going
on. I think it is disrespectful to those families whom children, wives, or husbands, or elderly family members that were in the military, air force, army, and navy. Those families probably felt bad or even embarrassed to see their favorite professional players kneeling or not coming out for the National Anthem over something that was taken out of context and misleading for something over a text by the president of the United States of America. It is wrong because Collin did it for a reason and that reason was to bring attention to a matter that was wrong and that white cops was killing innocent black people. So they are boycotting standing for the anthem over a tweet for suggesting they should be fired for not standing which makes no since because of players who are abusive towards women and of the common people of the U.S. or doing drugs behind them, and giving them chance after chance. They’re getting another chance for abusing females and taking or doing drugs, but know the attention is focused on them not kneeling or standing for the anthem, but still getting paid over a million dollars just to play a game. It’s also disrespectful to those families because they have people who lost their lives in wars fighting for us in different countries and that are still fighting to save other peoples’ lives.
The disrespectfulness should stop now before the NFL ratings go way down and nobody cares about it now and they will be out of a job because they are being stupid. They are not considering the fact how the kneeling was meant for and now it is a bunch of commotion in professional sports and irritated fans of them, and that means less merchandise from them won’t be selling.
