    What you are missing is that there are some people who will take the extra step of asking "what is this protest about", and learn the answer. And that is the positive result of the protest.

    There are, of course some who will learn what the protest is about, ignore that, and protest the protest, like you do. And I think you are exercising your right to the 1st. Just not well thought out to achieve any positive result.

    Making a scene of disrespect for the flag and country as a way of asking for unity from the Americans whom the flag represents suggests a mental deficiency of epic proportions.

    A guaranteed fail from the word go.

    To keep repeating the error simply confirms the existence of the mental deficiency.

    Nobody ever said football players were intelligent.

    Now it is certain they never will.

    Some Americans were surprised.

    Our government was not.

    Yes, they learn the what is said. But you can observer the results and it is not what is said.

    If you were kneeling to the US national anthem and the US flag to protest Hitler, you would appear just as anti-American and ignorant as the NFL players do, accomplishing the same empty antagonism.

    Bottom line is...

    You do know the war on Germany was declared after Hitler's Germany declared war on the US?
    The War against Germany and Japan were essentially two separate wars. The war against Germany was won first, Japan took a little longer. My comment about Hitler stands, your retort makes no sense.

    Hopefully we have people to lead in warfare better trained and with a plan for success to achieve a desirable result, than those that concocted the dumbass idea of disrespecting the Flag that is likely only to achieve the result of pissing people off.
