'Trump had to defend the flag.

Every patriotic American could have stood up and walked out of the stadium on seeing any player disrespecting the flag and sent the message'

I disagree. If he 'cared' then he would change the flag code and such to 'allow' the use of the flag on a sports uniform.

I dislike the flag on sports uniforms. It gets trash on it and it's purely for marketing.

I was taught to never let the flag touch the ground or get dirty. That's they way it's always been. It gets 'disrespected' every time it touches the ground and soiled. Nobody raises that concern or issue.

If the President cared about the flag then he should support the flag code.

This is purely for politics.

Nobody is talking about the flag on a sports uniform.

When these players kneel during the anthem they are saying that the flag represents racism.

It does not.
