so saying that disrespecting the flag or anthem is disrespecting soldiers ignores about 75% of the situation.

That's not their intent, so pinning that on them instead of actually listening to what they're saying is pretty irrational.

It's odd that they have the anthem played before every game.

Over the months, through a general perspective, Donald Trump has done so many great things for the planet.

I'm sorry, are you serious here? :yikes:
