It symbolizes all the blood, sweat, and tears that have been shed so that we as Americans can raise our flag

Yes, ALL the blood.

It represents:
Tamir Rices blood.
Philando Castile flood.
Trayvon Martins blood.
John Crawford blood.
MLK blood.
Heather Heyer blood.
Justine Damond blood.
etc

That’s the blood they’re protesting against being part of the flag.

Not the fucking soldiers who died so you could threaten your employees and intimidate them against using their own free speech and supposedly speaking for all of them.

You other-orange fuck.

Eagerly waiting the stance of the Crack baby atletic association..

Just from marketing perspective this is probably really effective and should resonate directly with people rejecting NFL.

They are pretty much saying that a song and a piece of cloth are more important than the lives of black people.

So it seems the mass of deplorables has already forgotten that the gesture was meant to protest against the treatment of the black people by the police and social inequalities.
Once again they choose to see only the form of the gesture and pretend to be "outraged" rather than even trying to understand the meaning behind it (like for BLM).

This fucking league. You can't support the first amendment rights and be against this. Fuck can idiots please just not get a platform to speak to other idiots.

The Constitution has really turned into the and thing as the Bible to conservatives. You pick and choose what you want and how to interpret it and they think it's right.

Well, the protest started as something that could be regarded as disrespecting the flag: ie, not wanting to stand up for the flag. Kaepernick said it himself. The reason it changed into kneeling was that it could be seen as a sign of respect while still making a point. People are just too happy to use the initial protest and extend their anger to what is happening now.

It's also a matter of diminishing the problem by calling someone's character into question. "What kind of person disrespects the flag? Not the kind I'd ever listen to. Soldiers died!"

In their minds, that's more than sufficient justification to ignore the issue without having to confront their own racism, and the real reason they're so vociferous in their disapproval.

Sitting there watching a full game might be sadder then Real Doll cleaning day

I don't know, cleaning your cum out of the lifeless body you just fucked is shotgun in the mouth level of sad.

Yeah but paying 30 dollars to see an arena football game with a bit of thong in the age of the internet has it's own sadness to it. Similar to muting your tv as a 40 year old so your mom doesn't hear you watching Skinamax
