Two 49ers and two Rams protest national anthem

I hope they play to a tie. 

I won't watch.  Voted with my remote.

Here's my thoughts.

I love my Country, and the national anthem is my Country's song.

I do not love my government, but unfortunately they don't have their own song for me to protest (and I might).  They have usurped the national anthem as their own, as they think they are the Country (they're not).  They should get their own song.  

My Country is the best there ever was, with the best set of basic rules (constitution) to guarantee personal liberty and freedom and a level playing field for all that exists anywhere.  My government has been abusing my Country for quite some time, and should be ashamed of itself.    

We all ought to be for our Country, and it's basic principles (look at all the people trying to get in, legally or illegally; they must think so too).  

Tearing down your Country for what it's government and people have done (are doing) is a cheap (and easy) shot.  If you think our Country sucks, you should move to another Country, as soon as possible.        

I agree with much of what you say, but our government is part of our country. You can't just separate them.

Patriots did in 1776.

We weren't really a country then. We were a subject of the Brits.

Meathead get past it dude. You may not agree with this guy but listen to the song and his message to the so called NFL hero

I am in no way defending Kapernick. I was just pointing out to Jess that our government is part of our country. You can't have one without the other. No matter how much you disagree with it.

OH NO G-MAN, YOU DIDN'T BRING THIS CRAP UP AGAIN NOW DID YOU??

Bet you never saw this part of his reasoning.
