Everyone blaming the football players should go and rewatch "V for Vendetta" again and learn the reason why V blew up those monuments in commemoration of gay fausk and the gunpowder treason plot.

When people place more importance on lifeless things like anthems and flags rather that to protect the sanctity of human life, then we have a problem.

Trump making his own people disrespect their national anthem. Interesting.

Nobody can make you disrespect a flag that gave you so much freedom and great opportunities unless you are innately disrespectful.

A disrespectful person will be disrespectful no matter what. Besides how does disrespecting the flag affect Trump personally? Doesn't reduce his worth in any way.

Patriotism is the reason America is what it is today and unfortunately blacks are at the forefront of this shameful display. They can as well skip the national anthem altogether!

People who were born into freedom and opportunity to not value what they have. Some of them need to come and live in Nigeria to appreciate what they have.

American system is not perfect neither is Trump himself but showing an open disrespect to your nation will not solve the problem. It will only compound it.

Well, I guess disrespecting the flag will help protect their life then.

No world government is perfect. And without patriotism, no nation will thrive. Ponder that for a moment and you will realize that this is a dangerous path.

If Hilary Clinton had won, will these people be so cocky on the field of play?

Sports is supposed to unite all irrespective of political, religions or ethnic background. Must everything be politicized? Trumpers stand while never-Trumpers kneel?

Well, seems football is the new political arena my friend. They can keep kneeling. Their knee, their problem...

Nice going guys.

This is what happens when you overpay a bunch of idiots to run around and hit themselves.

Thank God. This overpaid babies need to learn that what they are doing is not disrespecting Trump but disrepecting America as a whole.

90 per cent of their fan bases are very patriotic.

There has been no law regarding a particular behaviour during the national anthem. They were not been disrespectful to the star-spangled banner. they were simply defying Trump.

Those guys are just sore losers. Most of the Black's there are bitter because Hilary didn't win, that has clouded their sense of Judgement. They don't even care if his intentions are good, they'll still find a way to disrespect him and call him names.

The American national anthem did not start with Trump. How dare they disrespect their national anthem.

This is Anti democracy and anti everything the United States stands for! Even I will not sit or kneel when the Nigerian Anthem is being played.
Shame on them. Just shame on them!

If they refuse to sing their anthem, me I will sing it for them!


O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Democracy is also about the right to protest, the right to oppose and the right to refuse to conform.

Through out his entire career, Manchester United's Ryan Giggs never sang the British anthem yet he was appointed as captain of the British men's soccer team at the London Olympics.

Trump is petty and ridiculing the office of the POTUS by medling in things like these which is absolutely needless for him.

If Blacks are getting killed, is that why you should disrespect your country so openly? What message do they think they are passing across to foreigners?

POTUS Replied

What do you know about America. USA is the beacon of Freedom and democracy. I have seen vets who are not angry with blacks kneeling down. We are gunned down like roaches in the street.
I know your type, you think you support Trump because he is anti Muslim, well newsflash, Trump doesn't give a shit about black; Christains or Muslims.
They will and will continue to kneel down until the respect of being a black in USA is restored. We Blacks Built America. Our Fore fathers who were slaves built America with their sweat.
You should be ashamed of yourself. There is nothing anti-America with their protest. You think it's Nigeria where everyone follows a leader blindly?

So they pay them to not have mouths to speak or to not have choices? We Nigerians live in constant oppression so we do not understand what it means to oppose the powers that be. Anybody that tries is silenced by the public AND the government. You cannot win a war when you don't know the true enemy.
