Long Response:
Read the story on page A8 "Trump continues to stoke feud with NFL over anthem (there are multiple stories in the paper dedicated to this topic. If you would like to read one of those as well, feel free.)
1. What have you heard about this topic before you read the story?
Before today I had heard about the topic of not standing for the national anthem, it I did not know Trump's response.
2. Do you think NFL players should be required to stand for the anthem? WHY?
I don't think that NFL players should be required to stand for the anthem if we aren't. I do believe that everyone should stand, but if you feel other wise I don't believe it is our place to interfere. I feel it should make it to where you have to give your upmost respect for the national anthem, in your eyes whether that is knelling, standing, singing, as long as we realize that e are lucky to be in a country with food health and love. And realize that other people might not be as lucky, to think if they were in your situation and have been given that chance they would stand for a country that gives them a chance to be who they are, and perhaps be in a safer situation.
3. Do you think it is acceptable for the NFL players to stay in the locker room during the anthem and just not participate at all?
I really don't think it is acceptable for the NFL players to stay in the locker room. I feel that is worse than coming out and knelling. Even if it is not intended to seem this way, it looks like a disrespect to the country. And I personally think it is very snobby, as if you don't care that much to even some out and sit down at least.
4. Do you think that President Trump made the proper decision to go after this subject on his Twitter feed?
I mean it's not like his decision was the best there could possibly be, but a lot of people know that this is going on so I don't think his decision made a lot of a difference because he normally does take controversial topics to his Twitter feed.
5. Do you think that race plays any role in this topic?
I don't feel race plays any role in this topic, because it is not a matter of your ethnicity, if you are in this country you are here one way or another and I think that you should pay your respect.
