NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has said he expects players to stand during the US National Anthem. Roger Goodell has refused to enact such a policy. Whereas I agree it is EVERY American's right to kneel anytime they wish, when we watch a football game and witness the multi-million dollar commercials, we are lining the very pockets of those that don't feel it's necessary. As much as I hate to miss it, I will not be watching the Super Bowl and increasing their viewership, thus the value of the commercial airtime.

• Just because it's their right to kneel doesn't make it right.
• Besides the general public, most active military and veterans have conveyed quite clearly it is offensive to them. Whether it's intended that way or not, that's how it's accepted.
