Point is just because some see it as disrespectful doesn't mean everyone has to. I'm as patriotic as anyone and I don't feel the need to justify that by doing something I don't believe makes me patriotic just to appease a group of people.
As was said a few times, while I don't remove my hat I do stand simply because it's not worth the headache from listening to ignorant people whine about it.
The fact that this matters to anyone when the athlete(s) in question are competing and winning medals for OUR COUNTRY is just silly. These athletes have done a hell of a lot more for our country than anyone else has by removing there hats. Silly.

Yes people who are annoyed at people who don't stand for the anthem are the ignorant ones
Perhaps one day when you comprehend the sacrifice that others made so you have the freedom to make your "ignorant" choice you may have no problem getting off your butt. it must be nice to live in your entitled head.
I feel sorry for you that you have no idea how fortunate you are.
let me guess wearing a poppy is stupid too
