Here's what I don't get... a majority of Americans are offended when the players fail to stand respectfully during the national anthem. How is ticking off a majority of Americans supposed to generate any sympathy for your cause?

I doubt that a "majority of Americans" are offended. Some certainly are. .

From three news outlets who ran polls over the past few days, a solid 60% of those respondents said they were offended.
Until Trump talked and tweeted about the "SOBs" only a handful of people had ever heard of Colin Kaepernick.

As the most recent Federal investigation strips away the "covers" there will be some revealing revelations regarding the scope and depth of a majority of the "educations" ladled on athletes while making money for the college campuses. So, not as an excuse for their general ignorance of all things historical, but as merely a "point of order" there "college educations" are rather shallow and obligatory to keep them on the playing field or court, as the case may be, and bring in money for the school.

I pledge allegiance...liberty and justice for all.
I am saying there are us citizens who feel they are not included in the "all" part and therefore don't feel inclined to stand for a flag that doesn't provide the same sense of liberty and justice that it does for everyone else.

How many congresmen and women are black.. Just over 12% of congress is black. BLACKS are one of only 2 ethnicities to have their own "Congressional caucuses", they get to vote, and have MANY Black mayors, governors, DAs and such..
SO How do they think they are not being included??
That is a lie...

I think you're a bit confused. It's not that the Police disregard people of color, but maybe people of color disregard the law and Police authority. Our Military fights for our freedoms and liberties thousands of miles away by killing people in another land many who are people of color, we thank them for their service. We don't afford the Police of this country the same thanks and they actually do protect us on a daily basis right here at home.

AND THEN going on riots, and calling for cops to be assassinated etc, is not going to get more cops to 'be nicer' to blacks..
