The weakest link in the chain always shows up with these stories....the critics! 

Interesting to see some of the same names here also vigorously defended the Nazi Party, KKK, white supremacists, etc. to protest in Charlottesville with "they have First Amendment rights" commentary?!

So when you folllow the "logic"(cough cough) of their "patriotic" verbal diarrhea, apparently it is much more respectful and patriotic to wave the Nazi flag in America than it is to kneel during the national anthem.

I guess the standards for respecting the flag, veterans, the USA and the national anthem which should apply to high school students in this case, do not apply to those who belong to the Nazi Party and KKK.

Which just shows, it(kneeling during the national anthem) has nothing to do with respect and being patriotic for these critics. Rather that type of choice does not fit with their POLITICS...while waving a Nazi flag does. As the idiom goes, "A leopard cannot change its spots."
