I think your poetry skills are great and you should consider entering poemchallenge each Friday. I don't agree with your point of view though. If you are patriot you should stand. If you don't like something politically, let your voice be heard after you are out of your uniform and away from the stadium.
By kneeling, you disgrace your flag and country as well as yourself.
Perhaps you won't be noticed by anyone if you kneel at home instead of on television?
I appreciate your comment.., and totally respect your point of view. I wasn't aware of a poetry challenge, I'll check it out, thanks!
Thanks I look forward to your entry. You could even enter the one you posted here. I bet you get to place in the top 3. Good luck
