"Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat during the majority of the U.S. national anthem, but stood for the Mexican anthem before his team's game Sunday against the New England Patriots at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City."

Thoughts?
 
So what?

Does he not have the freedom to do whatever he wants, stand and sit for whomever of whatever he wants?

Many in the same stadium that he was in were eating hot dogs, talking to other fans, and scratching their asses during the anthem.

Hit me with how 'bad' NFL ratings are while sports that 'support the flag' are doing so wonderfully with attendance.

I wonder why he was sitting? Don't you? Fascinating, his comments when questioned about his "sitting" in the past.
As for the crowd? I imagine the large majority in the stands found it in their hearts to to be respectful for the Anthem and the raising of the flag. Most Americans don't have a problem doing that.

He sits because he is playing the victim card.

I think he does it out of disrespect for the Just-Us system.

The majority in the crowd may indeed stand in respect for the flag, but there are a lot who talk and scratch their ass.

In college, the anthem is played while the teams are still in the locker rooms. The NFL should follow that lead.

Then why doesn't he take his "disrespect for the Just-Us system," as you call it, to them? Neither our country nor our flag has anything to do with his "complaint" then, does it?

Tell us how many of those people in the stands "eating hot dogs talking, and scratching their asses were Americans. Where was the attention, on the stands or the field? So you think is it ok for a goodwill ambassador (That is what the players are when playing in a foreign country) to show disrespect for ones country in front of thousands of foreigners. Yes he has a right to free speech but does he have a right to embarrass the country he represents. You really have a fucked up idea of patriotism.

Maybe you don't understand the word. Perhaps this will help.
