Especially true for Trump (The Ultimate Culture Warrior). Culture wars consume the news cycle with both bases rallying to their corner. Trump has never shown an inclination to expand his base of support; he just wants to keep what he has passionately committed.
Yea ok. Again you can disagree with them. They are protesting and its part of the National convo. You think they hate the military? Hate the song? Want attention? They get plenty of attention.
Kinda like the mainstream medias passionate commitment to Russian collusion, theyre too deeply invested to let it go...even though anyone with common sense knows its a hoax and the former administration very likely weaponized the intelligence community to spy on and discredit a political opponent.
Let me first say, I dont like injustice, theres millions of people that experience some form of it everyday for numerous reasons.
Now with this kneeling matter...Itll fade out of the Natty conversation, when the media realizes they cant stir any more drama for clickbait.
See the problem is every question your raising. It goes off into tangents, controversy and divisiveness in some cases. What most fans want is to keep politics out sports. Its that simple.

It definitely is attention getting but thats it. And if this were a legit protest, then I would be all for it.

You've changed your avatar. Is that Leonard Little standing over an Auburn player in the '97 SEC CG? Nothing like the good ole days.
So why are they doing it? They arent getting sponsorship deals from it. Some are not getting signed bc of it. They believe there is an issue. It has zero to do with the anthem. Its how they chose to get attention. Which is the whole point of a protest.
Lets take the originator Kaepernick. He lost his starting job as a QB, career took a dive and all of a sudden he starts the "protest." For a couple of years, he was being talked about as being one of the best QBs in the league. Where was his "protesting" then? Nowhere to be found.
If it has nothing to do with the anthem then why kneel at that point? These players know how important the anthem is, so they use that time to pull their attention stunt. These players who arent getting signed are either not good enough or are breaking the rules of their employers.
Politicians will do anything to take the attention off the $20 trillion debt.
National anthem, who is going pee in which bathroom, gay marriage, abortion....they love it when everyone gets riled up over that type stuff.
Neither side cares about these issues, they just want us all to stay in a perpetual argument over it.
