[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1541543"] Exactly. I think if you stop a minute to understand why the athletes are taking a knee and realize it is NOT to disrespect the flag, rather to call attention to a continuing and huge issue in this country. We can all choose to be offended by many things if we so desire but if we seek to understand why someone is taking an action, hopefully the offended will realize that is not the intent. And if recent events, let alone decades of racial problems don't help illuminate the 'why' then I am not sure what more can. Seek not to find offense, rather understanding, empathy and become part of the solution. [/QUOTE]
