I’m having a hard time empathizing. If you think something is wrong in society, say so. Stand up for it.
I just don’t understand sitting for the anthem. Turning away from the flag. It doesn’t make sense to me. If this place is so bad, GTFO!
If you love it but think there are problems, stay and change them... but the problem isn’t the flag. It’s not the nation and it’s people. If you think it is, then you need only to hold up a mirror to see what needs changing.
It just doesn’t make sense.
When I try to sympathize, I guess it’s a sense of alienation. But again I ask, if you are that alienated, why aren’t you doing something besides attacking the symbol of your nation?
It’s not good enough to sit inside the locker room while it is played, like NBA player Mahmoud Abdul Rauof. It’s not a personal decision...It’s about making a public, media-attracting, nationally televised statement.
