Trump versus athletes on NFL anthem protests. How does everyone feel about this?

Protests

I guess I would add that in WWII, 5 members of our family served. Out of four brothers, two didn't come home.
I don't think that makes my opinion more important than yours. Prolly shouldn't have added it. We are all citizens.

Here are pics of the empty seats at various NFL games this past weekend. Note that the players are on the field, and the game is being played.

The Media is doing it's very best to hide this away from fans and Americans. Also TV ratings continue to drop.

We live in a very free land where multi millionaire athletes can disrespect the flag (if their team owner allows).
The patriotic fans using their hard earned $ for tickets will be the judge and the jury to let the
NFL players know if they approve of their actions.
Something that might be shocking to NFL players is that most hardcore football fans aren't bleeding heart Liberal social justice warriors that agree on politics with the grassy/chucky crowd.

Time will tell how this unfolds but t it appears the NFL is already regretting their position on this and informing the league players to stand for the anthem as its cutting into profits, revenue and ticket sales.

NFL and team owners think they can intimidate and bully. They have lost sight of the issue, "Black Lives " and all lives matter. Police ought to take note. Our police cannot hide behind their internal review boards either. It is rotten in Denmark!
