Actor Jesse Williams Calls Pregame National Anthem ‘A Scam’ Convincing Americans ‘To Go Overseas...

Well, after reading that article......He certainly has his right to say that. He is cracked out of his mind in his conspiracy theory. But he has the right to say it.

Here is another person who has an inflated false sense of self worth that is mentally deficient and is too stupid to research something before opening his ignorant mouth ..

I guess I just don't understand it. To my way of thinking, during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner is a time to respect the country & ideals we live in/under that give us the opportunity to live our lives more or less as we see fit and to reflect on the actions, lives & sacrifices that have led us to this point.

Granted, as with any nation, events and ideas have taken place in our history that are not proud moments in hindsight. We have learned from them, though, and bettered ourselves - which we ought to continually strive to do.

Disrespecting and denigrating the very country and system that give you the opportunity to voice your concerns, though, is not that way to accomplish that. What does the national anthem have to do with what some law enforcement officers have done, along with a myriad of other unrelated issues that people chose to display disrespect with? It's like using a hammer to cut a board - you'd be *far* more effective if you use the proper venue to air your grievances.
