Mahalo, Denominator, for your thoughtful response. I understand where you're coming from and initially felt as you do when Kaepernick first began his sit-down protest during our National Anthem. I'm old school and stand -- and tear up -- when our anthem is played for our flag. For me, it stands for so many, many lives cut short and maimed, for so much loss, that any disrespect for it made me angry. But then I slowly realized that all our heroes sacrificed for one thing -- and that's the freedoms that we all enjoy as U.S. citizens. Thus, when players/staff protest during the anthem, I see it as a testament to the rights that our heroes fought for. In a way that might seem odd at first, they're honoring the fallen and injured and those who are putting their lives on the line for all of us right now. So I hope you'll continue to watch the games in honor of players and coaches who are putting their careers on the line to support minorities who are unfairly targeted by law enforcement.
