"Dissent is what made this country what it is"...

I agree to a point...What made this country what it is is CHANGE...Dissent is just a hollow sound if Change does not occur as a result...Dr. Martin Luther King's speech would have not been as effective if not for the change that it brought...If the players are really serious about impacting change then they should find other forums or platforms.. Kneeling during the Anthem is just a small step which I think does disrespect our country and the military...But if the players organized rallies and marches to show their concerns, then THAT be more effective in initiating CHANGE...
