I am on Demario's wavelength, that we have bigger fish to fry just to try to keep our country out of full-blown civil disorder.

It's been a few years since the origin of the kneeling hoopla, and I'm coming to terms that this is very much a wedge issue like abortion. When you try to look at it objectively you actually do see pro's and con's on both fronts.

On one hand, the injustice is massive and it feels like we sure could use all the highly visible peaceful protests we can find. On the other hand, the kneeling vs standing is very distracting and takes away from the aspect of unity and turns the anthem time into a net-negative.

I think no one should compromise and we should just play through our disagreements. Set the example for our ineffective Congress that you can disagree and still focus and accomplish things.
