I believe it shouldn’t be because if you kneel for the national anthem you are disrespecting the men and women who served in the military. Donald Trump states in USA Today that “Any time I witness a player kneeling during the National Anthem, a sign of great disrespect for our Country and our Flag, the game is over for me!”
I don’t think you should be arrested for this but you should be ashamed of yourself because you are disrespecting the US. I think it is your own choice unless the football team has a policy about kneeling for the national anthem.
This is Collin Kaepernick he was the first NFL football player to kneel during the national anthem. I think he should be ashamed of himself for starting this protesting of kneeling in football. (one on the right is him)
Do you think that kneeling should be allowed?
What are your thought on kneeling for the national anthem?

Caleb,
While the topic is a good choice, it had already been done before. Be sure to check the forum to check before selecting your topic. Your summary is brief and you didn't reply to any comments which is worth 30 points.
I dont think kneeling should be allowed because like you said that is great disrespect to the american flag. Men and woman sacrificed their lives for everyone to go to bed at night and sleep without worrying about getting killed by crazy terroists that want to take down the US.
I don't think kneeling should be allowed just because standing and putting our right hand on our heart has been a thing for the longest time and, trying to replace that shouldn't be a thing it's kinda disrespectful. Like I said kneeling for the national anthem should not be a thing and should stop its not right to replace the hand on our heart with kneeling.
I personally do not think kneeling during the national anthem should be alowed. I think that if you live in this country you need to respect the country and its flag. If you think this country is that bad then you can go find another one that is better. I think people today need to be more grateful of what they have.
I don't think kneeling should be allowed but I can't stop anyone from doing it themselves. I think kneeling for the national anthem is disresectful because there have been so many people that have lost their life fighting for what the flag and the national anthem represent.
I agree with you I think that kneeling should not be allowed although there is nothing we can do about it. I also think that if they are going to kneel they need to stay in the locker room. I dont think that they should be setting that kind of example to the children in this country.
No I don't think kneeling should be allowed because you are disrespecting the people who have fought for our nation and have died. They dead so that we can be free and to not deal with other countries trying to attack us. It is rude and disrespectful to those people.
I can see how some people see it as a sign of disrespect but can also be seen as a sign of respect over the centuries people have knelt to show respect for royalty for gods etc. so in some ways I might be disrespectful and in others, it might be respectful. like in soccer when a teammate or opponent gets hurt you kneel it is respectful in almost any other circumstance why is it not during the national anthem.
I don't think players should be alowed to kneel to the national anthom because its disrespectful to the people that agve their lifes for our freedom. I don't think they should be arrested but I do think they shouldn't get to play in that game.
I dont think kneeling should be allowed. It is disrespecting our flag and that is not okay people lost there lives fighting for the flag. In my opionion if you dont like our country then just leave. kneeling for the flag is not okay and it needs to be banned from all sports.
