Yeah this video isn't great.
First the guy saying that those players haven't done anything in their lives, which is crazy since the line before he says they are multi-millionaire athletes.
He goes on to insult them implying that they aren't REAL men. Why aren't they real men? Because they didn't serve?
This players aren't disrespecting the flag or the vets. These players have the right to protest. These players have said that they aren't protesting the flag or the vets. Yet, some people refuse to take their word for that. People don't even want to accept the truth that they speak. Because if you accept that truth then maybe you can say they have a point, let's fix the issue so that they don't have a reason to protest. Instead you say don't protest that way.
Plenty of vets have came out and said that they have no issues with it. That they fought for the players right to do that.
Also, people saying that they are disrespecting the flag/vets are inherently saying that they don't have loved ones fighting/who have fought for our country. That they didn't have someone die so that they can enjoy the freedom they are expressing. Anyone talking about this players disrespecting vets should maybe go back and read the history of African Americans vets who were treated horribly after coming home. They fought for the rights of people overseas that they didn't have at home. They came home to Jim Crow laws. They were lynched. They weren't given the same benefits of the G.I. Bill that whites got. That's disrespecting vets. What these players are protesting are the evolution of the issues those vets faced. I hear everyone talking about the vets but not nearly as many people talking about issue at hand. Trump tweets non stop about the NFL but hasn't said a word about the injustice facing African Americans. No all I've seen from him was to be more harsh with suspects.
Funny, these multi-millionaire players are saying that America isn't living up to it's potential when it comes to the civil rights of minorities. Kinda like a billionaire telling the country that America isn't great anymore but he will get it back there. That same person sells hats with the American flag on them, which violates the flag code. But we don't say anything about that. That same person who loves the troops so much wanted to kick out transgendered troops. He wanted to get rid of DACA, which would have affected troops. Does the guy in this video think Trump is a REAL man? He didn't serve, he actually ducked out of service 4 times. The players are no different in their service than Trump.
No one can tell someone they aren't patriotic. Also you can't tell people what they are saying isn't true because you don't agree with what's going on.
