Comparing kneeling to hating the country is a fukin reach.
People still kneel??
Is this Saturday night Live ?
Kneeling is the ultimate display of respect NOT disrespect!
Protesting is perfectly ok, if done legally.
Kneeling for the national anthem or disrespecting the flag is disgusting.
Why would you show that behavior for a country that allows you to protest? There is a proper time and place for protest.
UK citizen, even I would stand for the US national anthem. Deep Respect to the country and those that bled and died not just for the US but for the world. The world is a better place because of their sacrifice
My father who was airman for many years, said that yes it sucks, but they have the right to do so.
So to make it clear, Nate Boyer, a retired Green Beret and former NFL player, advised Kaepernick to kneel rather than sit on the bench like he did 3 separate times before he started to kneel. Boyer respected the thoughts and opinions on Kaepernicks feelings towards oppression in the country, and the kneel was discussed during a meeting between the two. It was to get the people talking about the oppression of people of color within the country while still compromising with the symbol of standing for the anthem. Boyer would've liked him and everyone else to stand, obviously. I'm not taking sides on the matter, I'm just saying, there's an actual story to be read about it
You stand to pay respect for all those who have died and fought so you can play and watch the sport in a free country. A time and a place trying to divide people for Media coverage is not the way to spread a message.
While I'll agree that it's disrespectful, I also believe that my father and all other veterans fought for are freedoms, one of those being the right to kneel if they feel inclined to do so.
Another university brain damaged student.
What happened to freedom of speech? I do not get this. You may not like it but if they want to kneel that is their right. What is the problem? You guys hated Biden when he was President right. You guys always say support your President but when Biden was President is was all this bullshit.
Though I personally thoroughly despise people not standing for the anthem I do feel it is their right to do so. The first ammendment is absolute. Doesn't matter if you hate the message. I don't get to choose what language or forms of expression someone else uses. If you don't support the 1st ammendment fully and completely for all then you don't support the 1st ammendment at all. Yes it's despicable but it is their right
I don't agree because all Americans are not equal are have equality rights and you are a evil man that don't what people to protest about their right ,that tells me other people opinion don't matter.
I AM VETERAN AND I NOT INSULT
Thank You for standing up for us Veterans
And it’s always the rich doing that, they’ve made all that money HERE and use their influence to manipulate the rest of us hoping we will believe we’re small and helpless, it’s deranged
Isn’t this a free country?
I think after the Floyd incident using your knee to protest is a bit ironic 🦵
If this boy hates my country pack and get out of my country
This has always been a big "feeling" for me… and I don't have many. Please respect us, the group that chose to server against the odds…….
I salute for the fallen soldiers that laid their life for this land
Nah. Freedom of speech includes expression. Kneeling is an expression. Even veterans kneel, the veterans who have been mistreated after their return from vietnam.
Me? I will always stand for that flag and take off my hat if im wearing one. What others do is their freedom to do so, period.
Freedom of speech. You can kneel for the flag.
To be fair, a veteran was the one who started that kneeling thing…..not sure why he told Kapernick it would be a good idea or if it was to raise awareness for something we aren’t privy to but I agree with Charlie, veteran or not I think you should stand unless you are physically unable to.
You hate Trump?…. You hat America
Thata a real question, why are they here?
Damn right
It should be a criminal offense

Middle finger
People like Charlie Kirk and Trump the tramp are hypocrites
Nationalism is over, and a world government will soon be put into place. If Charlie Kirk isn't aware of this, then he's not nearly as informed as he believes himself to be. Those who gave their lives in defense of national borders have died in vain.
uhhhhh ¿How is that do you think that kneeling, an action used for milennia to show submission and or loyalty its seen as disrecpectfull ?
thats what i believe using pure logic, but i don't live there, maybe people used it in a way of showing disrecpect i don't know, but that would be the weird thing to do.
I would better phrase the question to pick his brain on it as a form of useful protest. While I disagree with either one has a much better claim than I hate America so I sit or kneel.
It's a fredom though…
The national Anthem and flag does not belong to the military. Why does that action offends the military personell in Charlie's opinion?
Lol this is hilarious and sad. Who cares about a dam flag or the corrupt reason the government does what it does for thier own best interest. Military is a job a choice I honestly dont pat them on the back for it. What the states have stood for is long gone. I dont put my faith in men.
They wont teach you how and why you have the right to free speech and the men and women that died for this country to keep it.
I Love seeing young people waking up.
Mans said "euro pinion"
A nation is people. Not land and laws.
You forgot to allow for the ones who have problems standing.
Am a veteran, i dont care what people do.
Please don't speak for us veterans, Charlie Kirk. I fought for FREEDOM OF CHOICE, not forcing people to subscribe to performative patriotism.
"They" want Sharia law. Love USA or leave.
I get that Charlie's passionate about this, but kneeling is free speech. You don't have to like it or agree, but isn't the point of being free is to do whatever you want, assuming any laws arent broken.
We cant signal for free speech only when its convenient for either side.
Not disagreeing with Charlie on leaving the country if the hate it so much, but everyone should be allowed to voice their frustrations. Just have to have sensible conversations without the emotion involved
Kneeling or sitting during the national anthem is not disrespectful to America, it’s basically what is happening in the world with police brutality with African Americans, we love America just like everyone else but we cannot stand the police brutality that is going on. You can say that I’m wrong and being disrespectful, but it’s my opinion
The narrative of “if you dont like your country leave” is basically why we have an immigration problem. Instead of fighting and fixing a nation everyone just runs away
Canadian here. Seeing my fellow citizens boo the US anthem was absolutely sickening to me. American citizens disrespecting their own anthem is exponentially worse.
Well first of all it's all symbolic, standing versus kneeling is virtually equal. So standing or kneeling I think are interchangeable in my book, to do neither I think is disrespectful but I don't think either of them are inherintly superior or more respectful than the other. So kneel, stand, I don't care which, unless you're physically unable to stand, sitting is not an option in my book
