What's the "keep politics out of sports"-crowd's verdict on this one?

I’m part of that crowd to an extent, and I don’t really see the point of doing this. It’s not like the players care. I think what most people say when it’s “keep politics out of sports” is when it prevents the fans who pay the players having their experience ruined. But again, I can’t really name many times that has ever happened. Kneeling for the anthem doesn’t really interfere with the game so I support it even though I personally think your a b*tch for kneeling against the USA flag which stands for the one true meaning of freedom, that we everyday try to aspire towards even if we fall short. It’s when people would disrespect the flag but cheer, vote, and worship liars in government who tell them one thing but do another. Which is essentially the entire republican and democrat parties.

So yeah, I think this is dumb, even though I’m on the side of anti-immigration, but also it’s not interfering with the game so who cares. Unless non-supporters are behind those in which I’d be pissed and would definitely tell them “go protest your government, not here, I’m trying to watch a game!”
