Kneeling during the presentation of the flag and the continuation of employing criminals is why I will not watch the National football League.  But people need to get it straight,  the National Anthem is and always was a pro USA song written during pro slavery time when black people were thought to be sub human. The song we hear today is missing the very slandering verse 3 which is a tribute to more deaths of black people who chose to fight with the British for a chance at freedom.  Britain was not a free nation either but it was their ploy to gain fighters on our land. So do not blame black people for hating the National Anthem.  The current kneeling protest is bad timing and ignorant. The resolution of protesting the National Anthem should have come in a different format. But the ignorance of people saying it's not racist and the ignorance of people singing the song are 2 very showing tales of a laziness to learn. 
Thank you for reading my post.
