I agree with most of what you said. But the point I was trying to make is that everyone's expectations are not the same. To your point, if enough people expect a certain behavior in certain circumstances, then maybe that expectation will become a law. Right now, standing for the Anthem is not a law. Not to mention the fact that those who chose this time to protest are not intending to protest the Anthem or flag itself in anyway. Yes the players represent their teams but if the owners of these teams (which are basically businesses) have not implemented rules to require a player to stand for the Anthem, why is it anyone else business?
