Then why do it during the national anthem? It is an insult to all patriotic Americans and is intended to be so. Do it some other place, some other time.
This is exactly why the broadcasters have stopped airing the beginning of the games. Out of sight, out of mind. They know what's best for them. DON"T PISS OFF YOUR CUSTOMERS!

Funny they can understand that when they boycott.
You can't tell a person what they boycott means. And you can't tell people what insults them. It's not insulting all patriots because all patriotic Americans don't agree that it's insulting. And the players have said what they are boycotting, social injustice. Yet you want to call them liars. And you tell them what their intentions are. How wise of you to tell these men what they are boycotting and the intentions they have. Funny, you would flip your shit if someone did the same for you.
And you don't have the right to tell a person when and where they protest. That's their right. There is no rule against them doing it. They are calling for equity in our country, which everyone should want. It's a peaceful protest. They have the support of many vets. So it's not insulting vets. And when and where would you like them to protest?
The the sad thing about this is people like you losing your shit over players kneeling during the anthem as a protest, telling them to stop and do it somewhere else. Yet y'all won't call out white supremacist marching in the streets because, hey that's their right. And a person like me, who says the players and the white supremacist both have the right to protest. And what the white supremacists are protesting is horrible and violent and I still recognize their rights. I guess it's another instance of #gtbw
