    Has some one who has worn the colors They have the right for freedom of speech. AS LONG AS THEY DON'T BURN THE FLAG. I don't agree that they didn't stand but that is their right. How many people stand at attention before the games at your house. If they were employees that may make a difference but they aren't

    Medias attempt to divide and conquer. They are very successful at it too.

    You have every right to oppose flag burning, but it is protected free speech.
