It should be noted that the player who started the protest, Colin Kaepernick, quite specifically stated that the flag was a target of his protest stating back on August 26, 2016 (about a month before he started kneeling during the National Anthem):
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."
So the players and liberals can pretend all they want that this has nothing whatsoever to do with protesting the flag or that it wasn't the target of the protests but the fact is that it was at the core of the protest from its inception

I don't recall any stories of police using dead black men for target practice, though.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

Originally posted by Tassman View PostKaepernick and the NFL players are protesting that “justice for all”, which is what the flag stands for, is not being honoured. They believe that blacks are the victims of discrimination and police brutality. The fact that you choose not to understand this and prefer to cast it as “blacks disrespecting the flag”, doesn’t detract from its reality.
