Just another thought, and this may skirt 'political' a little closely, but it is interesting to me that many of those who were very sympathetic to Cliven Bundy and his armed revolt against the US government and those who supported or were sympathetic to the Oregon militia armed revolt against the US government, including many bloggers and TV commentators, find a peaceful and simple protest by an athlete reprehensible.

And even more people proudly fly the confederate flag and/or display it on bumper stickers, jacket patches, etc. including actual state government buildings - is that not a form of disrespect for the US flag, it certainly seems so to me. There is of course a 'heritage' excuse, but that rings hollow when the heritage includes owning other people as property, and underlying the flying of that flag and the NH 'Don't Tread on Me' flag is a certain resistance to the federal government whose symbol is the flag and whose anthem is the national anthem.
