disrespectful? Bob can saunter down to Walmart and buy plates with the American flag emblazoned on them and sit down to watch football but the second a black player kneels in peaceful protest Bob will scream DISRESPECT. Why is that?

I don't really care if people kneel or stand or sit in front of the flag, or if they use flag themed napkins and plates.

Anyone who bitches about either is petty.

The main cause of eye rolling towards NFL kneelers is that if you want to make the point that there's systematic racial oppression towards black people in America, a bunch of average teenage guys turned multi millionaires largely by white patronage aren't exactly the best examples to use.

technically those american flag paper plates aren't okay

http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html

The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use.


This.
Even those dumbass little flag toothpick cake-decoration things are arguably violating the flag code - which has no enforcement mechanisms anyway.

The intent is obviously different.

Someone using flag plates might be ignorant to codes of conduct regarding the flag, but this person is clearly not expressing animosity.

The people kneeling for the flag are effectively saying that they hate America and hate our veterans/police/firefighters.

I'm not convinced. Get a bunch of white pro athletes to sit during the Anthem. Fans would not be happy about that at all. I will agree that the ties to BLM did make the current protests more controversial, though.

Why not? The left does their own intersectionality nonsense all the time. They always try to make everything they don't like out to be somehow simultaneously attacking all minorities, muslims, women, LGBT people, and any other group they can think of regardless of whether or not the issue at hand has anything to do with those groups.

I'm starting conservative intersectionality. And I'm going to include firefighters in my list of oppressed groups.

But really the whole thing is about those in power spinning any kind of protest against authority (police and corrupt politicians) into a negative by making the whole thing about America and the troops. It's just another way to stifle criticism by those in power and useful idiots believe them.

Mostly cause the reason of the "protest" was pure garbage from the start littered with hypocrisy and ignorance.

Ill never forget when the Rams came out with the whole "hands up dont shoot" bullshit even though it was proven to be false that it never happened like that.

He's conflating the argument. NWA said "Fuck the Police", to my knowledge nobody has ever made a song that said "Fuck the Fire Department"

Also it was former Longhorn and Green Beret Nate Boyer that convinced Kaepernick to kneel anyway.

That's not the issue; it's obviously a violation of the flag code. The issue is that the response for 2 violations of the flag code (kneeling during the national anthem and having the American flag on disposable items) is inconsistent.
