Then all athletic games should be treated the way churches are being treated right now.

Kneeling during the National Anthem is a sign of respect and burning an American flag is a sign of patriotism.
Yep, that's what the Left is saying.
See here from Thucydides' Peloponnesian War on the class warfare that raged across Greece during the war, especially at Corcyra:
Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness; cautious plotting, a justifiable means of self-defence. The advocate of extreme measures was always trustworthy; his opponent a man to be suspected.
- Book 3

There is only one reason for kneeling during the national anthem and that is is to show disrespect, just as standing with hand over heart is to show respect.

Veterans may salute. I do at military funerals I’ve attended and have noticed other vets did too.

It’s much simpler. Athletes kneeling during the National Anthem can KMA. Screw their sport and their salary. Hope you end up starving.

I think they should bring in a high-powered water cannon for these kneeling, overpaid, putrid punks, and call that "baptism".

Hatred for America is a religious doctrine of the Democrat “established” church.

Kaepernick, August 2016:
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."

Of course salute in lieu of hand over heart by vets and active military shows respect.
