A couple players refusing to stand--who cares--the majority of players in all sports are showing respect for county + values + the national anthem.  I would like to see what these players are really doing something for their "cause"--aside of refusing to stand.  Just like Colin K--making a big show of "social justice, equality"--the guy doesn't doesn't even vote--what a returd.  Now if Magic Johnson refuses to stand --then that is something--he has and is doing many things to help black communities and needy communities--but these others--the are just rubbish--i would like to see what they will be doing after they get out of the spotlight--probably lining up for handouts from soup kitchens.  Who is saying the nation anthem should be stopped--what!!! NO way--not even close--why drop of decades long tradition for a few losers...NO WAY.  When the Olympics roll around--what US anthem will be played for the Gold Medal presentation??? "Whoop there it IS".
