Not that I should expect even a little sense from right wingers, but this slogan is so messed up. Isn't kneeling supposed to be bad because it's disrespectful? So you are disrespecting the cross? Or was Kaepernick engaging in idolatry?
Traditionally one stands for the flag out of respect so not doing so is seen as disrespectful
Whereas kneeling (and bowing one's head) for the cross is seen as basically submitting yourself to the will of god
So basically traditions being traditions, things are weird
The flag thing is a more recent military tradition. You salute your flag and hymn like you salute your top officer, while still showing your power as a unit, not breaking a tight formation you are standing in. Kneeling down is for their enemies, our obviously good boys share the common cause.
Why is taking a Knee during the anthem considered disrespectful anyway? I never really got why and no one has ever given me a good answer.
A respectfull thing to do is to do what an old white guy tells you to do.
