OK. I believed the protest was mainly directed at police. I was wrong.
Secondly, many veterans feel it is disrespectful. And yes, like you pointed out,some don't. And as far as what I "care" about, whenever i was somewhere and people talked or whatever during the Anthem, I always, politely, asked them to remain silent. I am not at the stadium, so i can't do anything about many more "offensive" things occurring. And if the subject was kneeling, why would someone bring up a different subject? Talking, chewing gum, etc. Talk or ask about those specific issues, and I will say my feelings on that subject. Ask about kneeling, that's what someone will answer. And as far as the anthem honoring veterans:

And I have no issue with "the people" who are protesting. You implying that is offensive. I made it VERY clear what my issue was, right or wrong. But of course I am a "racist" because I have a different opinion than you.
