“However well-intentioned or justified a given protest may be, when political protests occur during the national anthem, many Americans see a defacement of something sacred — and this message completely overshadows the intended content of the protests. As experienced and understood by many, the protesters were not merely seeking to advance their own cause; they were advancing their cause at the expense of something of transcendent importance to many others.”
All that the Left can see is racism and the evil that is America because of it. We on the other side know that the USA is not perfect but has paid much to rectify those problems – which are lesser than the Flag itself. There are more of we Normals than Progressives and the media is pretty much of the latter. Thus, they just don’t “get” us – and feel free to attack from within their own race card values.
