Should I be able to take a knee because ........

Injustice of killing the unborn
Immorality that is promoted by those in high places
Heavy tax rates placed upon the American people
Protest of the wickedness of homosexuality
Celebration of the drug/ rap culture

just a thought my guess is iIwould be labeled a homophobic, misogynist, racist, bigot

I personally will stand an salute bc its still the place i want be. We are blessed beyond measure but i fear our freedom is closing quickly
 
Something else on taking a knee......

Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. If you don't know where
that is, just Google it from the sidelines. Hold a musket ball in your
fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two.
There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the
battle, so just wait your turn. Take your cleats and socks off to get
a real experience. Then take a knee.

Then, take one at the beach in Normandy where man after American man
stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to
pieces...the very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers
most had were the dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets
from enemy fire.

Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam. from Khe San to
Saigon... Anywhere will do. REAL Americans died in all those jungles.
There was no playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what
flag they represented. When they came home, they were protested as
well..and spit on for reasons only cowards know.

Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110
degree heat.. Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress... Your number
won't be printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay
hydrated but there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth.
You're on your own.

There's a lot of places to take a knee. Real Americans have given
their lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which
they fought as a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the
memories of those who bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what
the red stripes mean. It represents the blood of those who spilled a
sea of it defending your liberty.

While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on
a manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every
inch of ground taken....but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and
sweltering forests and bitter cold mountains...every inch marked by an
American life lost serving that flag you protest.

No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans...just American
men and women...delivering the real fight against those who chose to
harm us...blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee."

You haven't an inkling what it took to get you where you are; but your
"protest" is duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of
real heroes, it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for
those who chose to defend you under that banner that will still wave
long after your jersey is issued to another...

If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on
Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for
preserving this country for as long as He has. We'll beg forgiveness
for our ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him
for understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for
all....because He is the one who provides those things.

And there will be no protest. There will only be gratitude for His
provision and a plea for His continued grace and mercy on the land of
the free and the home of the brave. It goes like this...

"GOD BLESS AMERICA"

My only take on this is: that the NFL is obviously afraid to enforce it's own policy.

I don't look to sports for patriotic rallies. 
They usually disrespect the flag by carrying it horizontally, and a hundred other ways.
I avoid going in, until after the anthem, and certainly don't watch the beginning on t.v.
I couldn't care less about the political statement any entertainer wants to make.

Ya know what really offends me?
Playing on the Lord's Day.

This sounds just like something I wish I'd said.

I don't pay to go to their games; I think they are overpaid for what they do, and I don't want to support them.

If I watch a game, I skip the opening stuff.

They all think they are SO important, and they are nothing in the sight of God (and in many people's eyes as well).

You mean the "team" that let their QB take a beating because he stood for the anthem?
