And he made a salient point, one that’s rarely mentioned: why is it that some of the same people who condemn Bennett, and before him, Colin Kaepernick, are ones Baldwin sees in the stands at games, not standing at attention while the song is being played or performed?

He made a fictional point.

How would he know that the ungrateful and ignorant slobs in the stands who are disrespectful during the playing of our National Anthem are the ones that condemn bennett? This is not a likely case, at all, and everyone (everyone) knows it.

I am usually given one or two tickets to an NFL games each season.

Lots of folks fail to remove their hats.

I don’t think I have ever seem a person purposely sit down during the national anthem.

As for people in the beer line, many are only concerned about getting that beer.

He did to say that ALL of the fans that fail to remove their caps are also critical of Kaepernick, he said that SOME of the fans that have criticized players not standing for the national anthem do not remove their caps.

He is probably correct.
