Protests such as this are a real Catch - 22. She is turning her back on the one symbol IN THE WORLD that allows her to turn her back. Her statement is a well written VAGUE statement of purpose. What exact inequalities she does not say. She is one of the most free women in the world and the symbol she turns her back on is the reason why. I will not bore you with what other countries do, but what she is doing, while perfectly legal and right, is being handled totally inappropriately.
If she does not want to salute the flag, she has EVERY right to, no matter how many people it pisses off. BUT, where is the respect of others that she asks for herself? Why not just stay in the locker room until the National Anthem is over? You have your protest, you make your point, you still get booed, but at least you are RESPECTFUL. Finally, she states that she did not "want" this publicity. I think her actions, and statement, show that is NOT the case.
Where is the soap box gif? I am getting off mine now!!
