We as a society no longer have something by which we can gather around a water cooler and all agree. It is now all contention, all the time. We're all in a constant state of battle, and a side needs to be chosen.
Who would have thought that showing disrespect to the national anthem is now a side? Trump got involved, the stakes got upped, and now kneeling during the song is not necessarily a repudiation of the country per se, but more a repudiation of him as a president.
What happens when a segment of fans start joining the players in "taking a knee?" I honestly think when that happens there is going to be bloodshed in the stands.
I think this all gets a lot worse before it gets better. Where does this end?
