Freedom of speech! Freedom of oppression?

[alvin.noble206]

Last season we all witnessed 49ers previous starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand during the national anthem. Well this year other players are getting involved and also refusing to stand during national anthem.

Do you believe their actions are justifiable? My opinion is yes tell me yours.

I do not think their actions are justifiable. Thier country is bigger than any individual.

I believe it justifiable for a few reasons:

1. The media is painting this as an individual thing. Not Kaepernick because I assure racism is no individual offense. He is protesting because of the shootings. He's trying to get america to see how people of color are treated just because they're not professional athletes or soldiers.
