Even when we do the response is quite often some form of "not like that" or the goalposts get moved back another 40 yards from the back of the endzone.

Because it "disrespects the veterans" in some people's eyes. Astonishing, isn't it, that the same people who found issue with Kaepernick's protest probably have never heard the name "Nate Boyer"[1] before-who is both a veteran of the armed forces, and a veteran of the NFL.

It's never good enough.

I’m pretty sure “disrespects the flag” is little more than a strawman to attack instead of them having to discuss the actual point trying to be made.

And painting a blue line down the middle of it is the best way to respect the flag. /s
