I think it's ridiculous and equally outrageous, with all this in mind, to have such a fit or fill yourself with anger over freedom, how it's expressed and who it is expressed by. NFL stars or not, we are all one country and unify through our own individual freedom.
I not angry. I'm disgusted.

All that said, people have their reasons for doing certain things that you may not agree but you do not get to decide whether or they are jerks for it when their actions have yet to be explained or understood. I don't think you're an jerk. I have lots of respect for you as a human being and get that you have a different perspective in your politics and love to stand for the anthem. Understandable. What is just as understandable is refusing (nonviolently) to commit to something you disagree with; that is our freedom, that is a privilege so many have died for us to enjoy.
