One other thing you might want to add: another is that possibly, just possibly, there might be some merit in WHY the first guys started kneeling.  That's gotten long lost in this nonsense.

Personally, I believe they should toss the anthem at private industry public events.  The NFL shouldn't be making coin on the "patriotism" market (flag waving, military commercials and military money to advertise through the product), and I as a vet shouldn't be forced to be put in a position to prove my "patriotism" to some beer bellied do-nothing who never served or might've even avoided serving like our President because that person thinks lifting their fat tail out of a chair during shows patriotism and duty to country more than voluntarily sacrificing their time to serve.
