I find it funny how people burnt their Nike stuff like you've already bought it they don't care
@Precious Erving uh okay sorry for offending you bro
We are not liberals to burn stuff that we haven't bought yet
Because they're dumb.

Nice.
Jaime Velázquez They’re defending a piece of fabric. Sad how a towel has more respect than human beings.
The flag represents the people, you should honor the people, not the piece of cloth.
Kinda like how some people get all pissy and wanna kill others when they step on their brand new shoe. It means something too them.
What? WWYD has like 50 videos of being publicly racist and everyone near them coming to help
I respect the wife in the first couple because she ain’t change her statement just cause her husband disagreed she said what she said and she added that “we both served” too
yup but how a man and a woman serve are very different if your military you would know that there is a place for everything if your there to play then play don't use the sacrifices of the people who died and served for this country for your own agenda
@@gokuvegeta7770 A vet is the one who suggested the kneeling in the first place.
@@SaidByTy yet i have 3 brothers that served and they said its a lot easier for woman , vets
@@gokuvegeta7770 I’m talking about the vet that suggested it to Kaepernick and the several others who agree that the right to peaceful protest is what they fight for.
Nothing was ever garnered through peaceful protest.
I liked the first couple. This shows that they both have their own minds and don’t just follow each other.
Yes! So many of these 'WWYD' scenarios have couples who has one person blindly agree with the other. It's refreshing to see a couple disagree with one another and be divided, in a respectful way. Good to see.

Fated he said “were you in the military SIR?” So he basically made an assumption about him being a veteran but not bothering to ask her.. she’s just as capable as serving this country as he is. It’s inherently a sexist comment.
The fact that this country is more upset over us protesting the flag than the actual reasons its being protested says A LOT.

Couldn’t have said it better
Gemini righttttt!! I blame the president he obviously cares nufin for what the black pple r goin thru!! It makes me mad
For real. To put things into perspective, when Nazis and the KKK took to the streets chanting Nazi slogans in opposition of White supremacist statues being removed and committed an act of terrorism, Trump showed sympathy for their cause and labeled those who marched alongside them "very fine people". But when Black NFL players peacefully demonstrated against police brutality, Trump labeled them SOBs who should be dragged away.
I wanna see a black coach in this version instead.
@hunterkiller1440 that dumb

True true apprecuh love that
The thing is the freedom of speech thing doesnt cut into freedom of expression.
But you are aloud to take a knee it’s just frowned upon it’s those who disagree with its right too
This is sad. Im in the military and about to retire and taking a knee doesn't bother me at all. We had brothers and sisters die so people can protest freely. We fight so people can be respected no matter of race or color, not disrespected.
Thank you for your service. I wanted to join the military but I messed up my ankle multiple times. Stay Safe
@@DarkLink1996 thank you and sorry about your ankle.
@@kimchipanda4167 Thanks
First off, thank you so much for your service! It means a lot to me and my family. But to your point, they can protest freely, in a public setting. But if you’re in a private school or organization then you have to follow their rules if you with the stay with them. You fought for freedom to protest but you also fought for rights of private organizations/schools.
Wether you agree or not with the protest, it’s the wrong way of going about it. And clearly it’s not the way to unite America behind it.
Charlie P byeeee
I find it laughable that a flag and anthem were taken more seriously by some people than the whole brutality situation LOL that's just insane
That’s America for you
You have other ways to protest
Class on Bread it’s harmless 😂
Look up Fort McHenry, and when the national anthem was written. Freemen and slaves gave their life to protect that flag and millions sets have fought to protect it
The bodies at Fort McHenry stood over 10 ft high around that flag post, with the blacks on top. Meaning the slaves could have left because their masters were dead but even they understood the importance of that flag, and freely gave their lives to protect it and keep it standing tall
The fact that the actor shot the military question at the husband & homegirl hit him with "we BOTH were" had me dead.
YES. I felt that so hard. My bf and I are both veterans and I've been in her place before. We went to a veterans event on campus and they told me that I should have my bf take me to some of the events one day and I was like lol no I'm a veteran too. Heard af

I like the “scholarship” guy. You can get a full-ride to a good college where you can get a good college to education. Then, you also have a greater platform to voice social reform, as in you will have a great influence.

It's also anyones right to burn their Nike stuff if you kneel for the anthem
It's anyones right to change channel when you do it
It's also the President right to say it's a bad idea, and no it is not racist of him to say so, since he is focusing on the action not your skin color.
It's anyones right to express anything as long as it is peaceful, not using violence.
What is not Freedom of Expression, is you violently forcing someone to believe that you are in the right, which Democrats often do, and which we see very often in the actions of Antifa
Now I have educated you on Freedom of Expression.
Gru ber No level headed democrat will consider the actions of Antifa or their beliefs acceptable. It’s the same as calling the KKK republicans, they are extreme examples of extreme minded people.
By the way I’m from London so I’m not a democrat, I was merely making a joke but thank you for the enlightening education

HEY I KNOW U I ALDREADY SUBBED U
Hi
You Spelt That Wrong
You don’t fight for a piece of fabric, you fight for human beings. Flags don’t bleed, they don’t breathe, they don’t die. You can beat a flag to death and it’ll still fly in the wind. You beat a person, they won’t get back up. When you’re over in the throes of war, it’s not a flag that has your back, it’s a living, breathing human being that makes a promise to never leave you behind. The fact that people place so much reverence for a piece of fabric above another person. It’s ridiculous. The flag means absolutely nothing without the people that stand behind it, it should be behind the people standing up in front of it not the other way around.

Its the amount of blood shed and lives taken for that flag
You just don't under stand.

@@misixo2471 Kneeling is like spitting on the solders that protect you.
"We both were!" I would love to see a video with someone confronting a female solider about trying to use a military discount or parking. So many women experience this because they automatically assume it is their husband who served.
Can't blame the people. More men serve in the military than women. So it is fair of them to assume it.
This is actually reasonable. Over the course of 10 years in retail, I have had at most 20 actual service members who don't want the discount compared to the over 1000 wives of military servicemen and women (yes women marry women in the military.) trying to use their discount.
I know I'm 4 years late but I've had women try to make me address them by their husbands rank. Ridiculous how women are these days. Try again.

can't believe how obsessed Americans are with the national anthem. and it's played in schools every day lol. I'm British and I've never heard ours once in school. I don't even know it
No it's not played in schools everyday lol.
Militaryninja Soundboarding I think he means the pledge of allegiance.
warmslurm I think you’re confused with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Literally. We dont hear any kind of song or pledge or anything.
warmslurm same I just think Americans are too vein about they’re flag (no offence)
t's really sad to me that those who never served, speak the most and the loudest. As a veteran myself, it doesn't offend me. In fact, it always moves me to tears because I remember us kneeling when one our favorite NCO's passed away. We all knelt and HONORED him, his service to our country, our country, and what we STAND FOR.
They aren’t doing it for that tho it’s disrespectful so I understand both views
This is why Green Beret Nate Boyer suggested it to Kaepernick
Honestly, I don't even see the point in having the national anthem at sporting events in the first place. What's one got to do with the other? To me it's like standing for the pledge of allegiance in a movie theater before the film.
wow i never thought of it this way, well said lol

Power to the first woman! She understands it’s nothing against the flag or the military, it’s a silent protest against police brutality 👌🏼
But why the hell is it done during the national anthem why not some other time. There are other ways to silently protest. Hate demogogs that make zero sense
the atlanta boy we all have our own opinion not everyone has do agree with u
The Flag has always represented the military and always will! Hijacking the military symbol to use for a social issue is akin to copyrighting violations. Old Glory can be protested for the very reasons Old Glory exists and nothing more. You cannot separate a protest of the Flag from the military simply because you want to. The Flag and military are synonymous and to protest one is to protest both equally. Claiming the flag represents only social issues and to exclude it's military meaning is ignorant.

2. Nike doesn’t care if you burn their products because, guess what? They already have your money. Once their stuff becomes your stuff, it’s no longer their concern.
3. People say that kneeling for the flag is “disrespectful” to those who have died fighting for this country. THEY DIED FOR OUR RIGHT TO STAND OR KNEEL.

Provocateur he wasn’t “spitting” on the flag. I think you’re missing the point of a peaceful protest.
Gesten It's different because that's kneeling to a queen. Americans founding fathers fought against British queen in the 1700s. Traditionally we stand up and put our hands on our hears. Taking a knee symbolizes explicit intentions and that your part of an opressed group.A citizen of a democracy also doesn't bow to anyone because everyone chooses our president,supreme court judges,and our house of senators and our house of repreprensives. Not just the president. Also it's in the American code of conduct.

I don’t get why anti-kneeling people don’t understand that the protest is not about the flag, but about specifically police brutality.
As a non-american the whole anti-kneeling argument looks like they're just worshipping a flag. Shits crazy
How? NO, YOU'RE WRONG. 99% of time the suspect is resisting and endangering their lives and the lives around them. Second, because I know you're implying their is racism, just so you know, more whites are killed than blacks by cops. You sound real concerned about the black community. You do realize that over 99% of blacks that are shot are killed by other black non cops? So, what are they really protesting? Honestly, most people don't give a shit about kneeling to the flag. Most people are just sick and tired of the whining by african americans trying to play the victim game. Nobody knows or gives a shit what they're protesting because its lost all its meaning.
Joe JG preach.
Joe JG more whites may be killed by police than blacks however; there are far less black people in America. So when a black person is killed that number will show more than a white person being killed. The meaning is not lost. By the way, I want you to watch a video from the Steve Harvey show; there was an ex cop that created false reports that caused the incarceration of over 60 "INNOCENT " minorities... That's what we kneel against, amongst many other issues. Just because you don't understand or aren't experiencing it doesn't make it untrue...
Regan Rinehimer he didn't preach on anything. You people are worried more about a cloth versus the church molesting children. Sad...
Its insane to me how many people think a flag has emotions. People care more about that damn piece of cloth than they do the people it represents.

Kneeling is a bit different chief. They’re kneeling to protest and I get that but either way, you’re disrespecting the flag and what it represents
Gio visone Some people don’t even acknowledge the flag, why not complain about those people? I’m pretty sure people can wait to get some nachos and draw acknowledgement towards the flag no matter if they want to kneel or stand up. Perspectives & Empathy dude, everyone has a different point of view.
@@giovisone2392 why does this flag matter so much to you?
your family member are stupid. I will never join the military.
have you ever seen rich kids say ohh you know I got 100 mil in the bank but for the love of this country let me go server the country and join the military. war are made so the rich can get richer. rich people dont give a shit about you at all.
the only servers that matter was the world war people. everything after that was just rich people brainwashing people to believe
that they are fighting for something
The issue here is that the people who walk away are no longer there. They've removed themselves from the area. The players are there. Not only are they there, they're out on the field, in view of literally everyone in the stadium. They're seen by everyone in the stands, on the field with them, in the lens of any potential cameras as a lot of cities broadcast their school sports teams on local news and public broadcast stations, and they're even seen by those people walking away to get nachos. Everyone can see them. They came to watch them perform feats of athleticism, and during this one moment of solidarity, they are the second most visible thing in the area. If someone walks away from their seat to get food in a crowd of in excess of 20,000 people, so few are going to notice, especially if they're sitting in front of the person leaving. But when you're out there, in a uniform, on the field, and the only thing getting more attention than you is a flag, or the source of the music, and you break etiquette for something so wildly unrelated to what you're supposed to be doing, you open yourself to this sort of reaction. Apart from the flag or music- never both, always one or the other- you are the center of attention. When you're on the field, wearing your uniform, you are being watched by everyone, and are held to a standard that no one in the stands will ever be held to. You have expectations to live up to, so when you violate that etiquette, and then make up some bullshit excuse like 'I'm protesting police brutality', first of all, no, you're not, and second, you're an attention-seeking little shit that needs a stern ass-whooping. The Star Spangled Banner has nothing to do with the police, or the military, or the struggle against racism. It's a declaration of how great this country is, and what a symbol the US flag is; a symbol for hope, prosperity, and perseverance against all odds. It's a uniting force that brings people together, and the only people who are trying to divide us are also the only ones who hate the US flag. When the anthem plays, you stand, turn toward the nearest US flag- in the event there is no visible flag, you instead turn toward the sound of the music- and you place your hand over your heart until the song ends. If a man is wearing a hat, they should- but aren't necessarily required- to remove it.
This is called etiquette.
They are protesting peacefully.
And people react with hate and rude comments.
And when a violent protest comes up, people are all ready to listen.
It's ridiculous how violence is the only way to get people to listen.
I am Mexican and I actually agree with the football players kneeling. It's a peaceful and pacifist protest.
If I heard the national anthem, I would kneel.
I would be afraid. That is true.
My courage isn't the absence of fear.
It's about knowing what your afraid of and knowing you can face it.
Edit:There were thousands of men and women who gave their lives for America. To make it safe and secure. They fought for it because they loved America.
And this is how America repays them. Rasicm, hate, bigotry, lies, etc. If the men and women who died for America could see the America today, they would be upset.
"And when a violent protest comes up, people are all ready to listen." Oh yeah, remember the time when violent protests helped people listening? Especially in eastern countries. Yeah, go ahead. Sure that works. "And people react with hate and rude comments." I saw more people supporting them rather than insulting them on social media. I think you just see what you want to see. "It's ridiculous how violence is the only way to get people to listen." It's not. Violence just creates more violence, you'll eventually learn that when you grow older. "I am Mexican and I actually agree with the football players kneeling. It's a peaceful and pacifist protest." Agreed.

Until I saw the nasty slime of racism and bigotry. And I knew, this was not the America I have known.

It’s not always explicit, there are subtle kinds. Racists have the benefit of plausible deniability which makes instances of racism quite difficult to prove.

@@addisoncross2017 I understand you, and I'm sorry that you feel that way but in my point of view, I see standing up as a way to accept our nation. I see kneeling not as disrespect to soldiers, but as a way of saying that our country isn't good, it has problems, and I hope you can see it does.
And I think the dead soldiers died, so they can make this country better, which is a good step to accepting our nation/aka standing up. So we can finally stand up, and accept and fully love our nation.
@@adliala8987 are country does have problems and I know that but to kneel shows that you are not standing for are nation you are not appreciating the sacrifices the people and soldiers have made to make this country free.

Raine. The “piece of cloth” represents soldiers dying for your freedom.
Apollo Foxmask What?
Listen.... I don't agree with police brutality.... But I also don't agree with idiots like yourself calling the American Flag "a piece of cloth. It's more than that. Both of my grandfathers, my cousin, my great uncles, and lots of other people that I know were part of the U.S Army. So before you go and call the American Flag "a piece of cloth" why don't you think of the meaning that is in it, and the sacrifices that many men and women in this country make, such as leaving their families behind, losing limbs, even getting killed. And its all for you, me, and everyone else in this country.
@@patrickbutler2391 it might just be because im a canadian citicen, but i dont care about what a flag "represents" because essentially speaking its literally just a peice of cloth with coulors and patterns on it. now if people protested by directly SAYING that they dont support the people dying for their country or something like that THEN i could understand them getting flack for that
@@patrickbutler2391 So youve never been in the military? What gives you the right to speak for your relatives. Homie the stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.
The american flag originally doesnt stand for people dying for our country. Btw the men and women fight for freedom. So if someone believes the Amercian flag is a piece of cloth which it is its a damn piece of cloth in their eyes. They kneel for protesting the injustice of police brutality not in protest for military. Might aswell get rid of the white and red cause those officers werent showing valor or justice. Dont make this something it isnt.

I like how these people, despite different opinions, were very respectable of them and tried to give reasoning behind their stance. I think I can agree and disagree with all of them in a way, but I believe that something must be done to end police brutality and racism, and people should be allowed to protest in peaceful ways. I think the soldiers who fought deserve respect, but I also believe the reasons why they fought should be honored as well, therefore I have no issue with people taking a knee. They fought for freedom, and now people are using that freedom to speak out against something, that is one of many rights those soldiers fought for.
Me too
but they’re not disrespecting the flag, they’re protesting racism, so why are people mad?
People are mad because to some people the flag involves people who risked their lives for this country. Like that guy who was in the navy. He thought it was disrespectful to kneel. Its the thought of people who fought for this country that's why a lot of people have a problem with this.
Because they are racists, that’s all it is
Marcus Melton yea but they’re not doing it against the flag or the country it’s against racism
It's just not really the right platform to be using to protest racism. It makes it seem almost as though they're protesting the flag in a way, which has nothing to do with racism. The flag stands for our country and the people who have died fighting for us, and for a lot of people that means it deserves a high amount of respect. That's why people are upset.
The flag is just a way for them not calling themselves racists. Just another form of bigotry.
It looks like kneeling is more disrespectful than burning the American flag.
I've always found burning the flag to be disrespectful. It should only be burned if it's really tattered or ripped up. But funny how it's not considered disrespectful when white folks do it
Jon Campo thanks for that brother .... burning the flag is a guaranteed stupid and fucked up thing to do .... that flag stands there because of sacrifice, blood, tears, and pain .... it does not stand there for free .. freedom has the highest price
Erik Villegas yeah right cause I think the problem is not kneeling y’ll just want police brutality against black peoples should keep going y’ll are sadistic twisted sick peoples
you are expecting logic from inbred garbage, that will never happen

I remember in high school I sat during the school pledge (in texas might I add), at the time it was only because I came from a school that didn't do the pledge (vermont) and I remember one teacher was understanding (because I wasn't being disruptive and just sat silent), I remember however most teachers out loud chastising me in front of the rest of the class. Another teacher who was a veteran started yelling at me again in front of the class. I wasn't even against anything at the time (eventually it was my way of saying because of all of the violence happening, at the time more towards African Americans like myself, I wasn't going to stand for it if that's what it meant. I stand for peace and love). I appreciate you and thank you for your service, thank you for standing up for all of our rights to have a voice even when that voice is used to protest violence this way. Thank you.

@@justanotherfangirl6360 Its because it symbolizes our freedom and the way we had to fight for it 🇺🇸
@@sky-mainingcaveira3475 Then, would the flag not symbolize our freedom to kneel, and defend our American values? Sounds to me like the American flag is in full support of kneeling. Every country had to fight, y'know? Germany wasn't always the Germany it is today, just how American wasn't always the America it is today.
@@Ivy-dd8bf i never said you cant kneel i he or she asked why we obsess our flag so much and i gave a simple answer
@@sky-mainingcaveira3475 Yes and I'm adding to the conversation.
Do you stand up when you watch the games at home?
snilrach NO in fact I kneel in support of all African Americans who are going through this
I knew when I’m giving brain.
I do during the anthem
I don’t watch football, sooo... no. I sit. 😗
No
