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?

I agree that kneeling is disrespectful especially to the men and women that have sarcificed their lives and put it all on the line, they are definitley a big part of why we are as great of a country as we are. Wheather it comes from the emergency workers helping citizens or the soldiers sacrificing their lives.
I agree with you Nick becuase many people don't understand how disrespectful they are being to millions of different soldiers, first respnders, nurses, doctors, etc. People underestimate how lucky they are to be in this country and have so much freedom.
I don't think kneeling should be allowed at football games becuase it is disrespecting our flag, veterans, leaders, government and state workers, and the country as a whole. I don't like that people are kneeling during the national because if they are football stars, they have social media and they have a voice outside their sport.
I get that they are kneeling for an actual cause so it doesnt matter as much as if it would have been for no reason. They are actually protesting for important reasons, but I still dont think it is right like they can find some other place to protest. Standing for the national anthem has been a tradition for a long time and it shows freedom.
I don't really like the kneeling or really think it should be allowed. It is pretty disrespectful to all of the people who fought for our country. I think that it is the most respectful thing to stand during the national anthem, and kneeling shows disrespect.
I think that kneeling should not be allowed because you are disrespecting all of the men and women who have died and still fighting for our country. People may have there own beliefs and opinions, but it should not be allowed. There are people in this world that have died for us and you are disrespecting them.
I personally don't think that kneeling should be allowed during any professional sports game in the United States. People don't pay money to watch players kneel during the nationa anthem, they pay money to watch the players play. I also belive that it is disrespectful to the US because you aren't showing honor to the men and women that have sereved to keep our country safe.
As I understand people have their own opinions and beliefs, I do not think that kneeling during games should be allowed. There are so many people that sacrifice their lives and die to protect and defend our country, so I think kneeling towards the flag and during our nations song is very disrespectful.
I do not think that kneeling during games should be allowed. Yes people are going to have their own beliefs and opinions, but they are a citizen in the United States and live here. I think it is very disrespectful to kneel before the flag, and it is extremely disrespectful to the men and woman that sacrifice their lifes, die, and give up many things in their life to defend and protect our country or us, and during our nations song.
I don't see the big issue with it. They're protesting because they believe something isn't right. Are they disrupting the national anthem? No. Are they doing any harm in any way, shape, or form? No. So why is it such a big deal? They have a right to peacefully protest. Why punish them if they aren't doing anything wrong?
