This issue of standing or kneeling in protest while our national anthem is being played has become a point of contention for many. The NFL has been the major focus of this issue for over a year.
It has been reported and is now under investigation that one NFL team purposely allowed their quarterback to get sacked numerous times because he stood during the national anthem while the line men all knelt in protest. This behavior has now been seen at colleges and even high school games.

Respect for God and country is not only proper, but it is encouraged in God’s Word. “Render therefore to all their due; taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.” Romans 13:7
There is a rightful time and place to protest but I must say that during the national anthem is not that time. Many veterans have fought so that we can enjoy the freedoms of this great country. November 11th is a day when we honor our veterans. The pledge of allegiance, the national anthem is the time when we honor all this country stands for. Protest when the time to honor has passed, but don’t take away the time to honor what needs to be honored.
