Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Eh, I'm no fan of the NFL, find it boring and I despise that state tax dollars go to stadiums when they never really recoup the cost back to the tax payers, but:
"The NFL's tax exemption applied only to the league office and not to the teams themselves, and the office has since given up its non-profit status."
For one, your insistence that the protest is about being anti-America and/or even Anti-Anthem is false. It's not about that, they're kneeling to draw attention to a cause (you can agree or not here on the cause), they're not kneeling to have the anthem taken away or to destroy America.
See, no hypocrisy in reality. Only imagined hypocrisy. Glad we could clear that up.
Then THAT'S what people should focus on changing. If nothing else, that kind of pressure might force them to make an official "No political statements while in uniform" policy.
Listen, I'm sorry if you thought SM made some grand valid point in naming hypocrisy, but he didn't. I pointed that out with facts as shown above, you can accept that or not, your choice. I don't care.
I read that more as Sable asking why one is worth caring about over the other.
If your message to those claiming offense to someone refusing to honor the anthem/flag is to "get over it", how is it different for someone to tell another who takes offense at a few racist statues to "get over it."

IF you can't see the flag and the anthem as a symbol of unity, but a political tool, I can't help you.
