Kneeling During the National Anthem?

 Reading the The New York Times article;Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem Protest and Frederick Douglass’s ‘What to the Slave is the 4th of July?’, by Katie Harris and Tracey Barrett, I've decided that i'm not too sure how to feel about Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem. While I do see where Kaepernick is coming from with our national political and police difficulties I don't think kneeling was a good idea. I think that because there are many other reasons we should stand for our flag one being for those who have fought for our country. In one of the pictures in the article Kaepernick was kneeling right by two troop,to me that seems a bit too disrespectful
