I see the whole thing from a different perspective. The mob mentality. Many players have family and friends in the military. I think that it is disrespectful and they may be pressured into the do as I do mentality. It just isn't right. Not for the team and not for the fans. It is division.
And not only that but disrespect for African Americans was at its height during the Obama administration. Much of the problems African Americans face is from liberal government. Local and Federal. Liberal policies that keep African Americans unemployed and uneducated. Cycles of unemployment in families. No ties to community only to drugs and violence. Hopelessness breeds violence.
