The argument against protesting the anthem is based mainly in the means of protest. Some people find kneeling to be disrespectful to the military men and women who risk their lives for American freedom. Devon Becker, a Padua senior, believes everyone who enjoys the freedoms of being a United States citizen and participates in our democracy should stand. “I am disgusted by the disrespect they show toward the country they live in. If they are not happy living here they have the option to move somewhere else.” said Devon. Some find fault specifically with the fact that the people protesting have benefitted from the economic privilege of being employed in professional athletics, therefore, they do not represent the interests of people who are truly marginalized.
