Seahawks, as a TEAM, may protest anthem

[Perianne]

That's because appropriate flag etiquette calls for folks to stand when they are in attendance. Folks at home are not in attendance of the flag. The same is called for with the national anthem, but calls for those "present".

Jim, you surely are smart.

So you only respect the flag and anthem because of some etiquette code? So when not present, you are ok with disrespecting the flag?

If not present, then it's not disrespecting the flag to not stand. I am for respecting the flag and anthem at all appropriate times.

pete sounds like a fellow member of the SEAHAWKS, and pete is the 12th man.

Love American DOLLARS, BUT disrespect AMERICA by demonstrating IGNORANCE IS BLISS

How do you come to this conclusion? There is only a code when present, nothing when not present. So you make you own code up. Your choice. Which is more respectful to choose to stand or not stand when not present?

Hey Pete, at home, do you applaud for people on television when they win awards? Did you stand when President Bush entered Congress for the State of the Union? Do you stand when the judge on those TV judge shows enters the courtroom?

pete. You should do what Hillary is doing, and get treatment for your ailment before you self-destruct from stupidity.
Please explain to all of us...how you so successfully are able to talk in useless circles, saying nothing, but impressing yourself so well?

Pete, there IS an official flag etiquette for our country. AND and official anthem etiquette. I posted the portions for you about when one is expected to stand. THAT is how I came to that conclusion.

No, but maybe I'd be a better person if I did

I read the etiquette. There is nothing it about etiquette when not present. So you make your own ethics.

[Abbey Marie]

You'd be a better person in an asylum. I can just see the guys in Cuckoo's Nest doing this.

So, you admit you are the hypocrite..

pete.. You are asking basically the same question as this:
"If a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it....does it make a noise?"

Why would ANYONE with a brain....need to know the etiquette needed where a FLAG is alone????

No because I am not demonizing Kapernick

Actually it's not at all the same. I also don't understand your last question. What does "need to know the etiquette needed where a FLAG is alone?" mean?

It's like if the ball pent against the reflection but couldn't.
