My one and only comment on "taking the knee". [View all]

I choose to stand for the National Anthem because I desperately want ONE thing in the country that transcends politics, but it goes without saying that I respect everyone's decision to do what they will. And to those who may say it's a distraction, my response is that a sitting president, has a powerful, and in this case malevolent, megaphone and we need to fight him at every turn or he will twist this country into something we don't recognize.
