Someone should arrest these actors (no doubt hired by Soros) for stolen valor!

And that's the bottom line, cuz southcoast said so.
If you sit for the anthem, then you sit for the game.

I think everyone has a right to kneel or not, regarding the anthem and flag ceremony. Having said that, your example has a hole. Of course, some veterans don't feel offended by people kneeling. (I know quite a few who aren't even offended when the flag is being burned.) Other vets do get upset about it. This is probably true of any organization or other group. The taking a knee issue has always been about what some people find insulting and what others do not, which is why the government is not arresting any players. This reminds me a lot of how some people get very upset when they hear "All lives matter", while others think it's a perfectly reasonable statement to make.

It seems that most people who are upset about kneeling never even served.

What's the point of kneeling anyway? Is life in America so bad for you?

Bring attention to injustice and the voiceless and oppressed. It got people talking. None of the players said they were oppressed personally, minus Bennett when he lied about a police altercation.
