I have nothing to get over.  At no point did I say I was "offended" by the actions of a football player.  I believe everyone should be free exercise their Constitutional rights when they choose, and I have defended other citizen's rights to do so even when I haven't agreed with them.  
I do not sympathize for those who use the media as their stage, and complain about the attention.  Instead, they should be using their ample means to affect real change at the ground level, and give direct help to those that desperately need it.  The only problem is that media does not care, they are only concerned with ratings, and sensationalism sells.  A multi-millionaire should stir a media frenzy by directly helping those in dire need, not by some overt public action.
The National Anthem represents the good, the bad and ugly of our nation.  Even during these times of extreme partisanship, it still symbolizes hope for the future, and that we are stronger together.  Please stand for that.
