...giggled and then started all over again. Instantaneously a parade was underway and it has been going on ever since. There were soldiers from every nation participating in the war – except Germany. All the national anthems of the allies were played at the parade and the crowds, which were large, cheered, but it was all very solemn. The streets are crowded and all traffic is held up. This is a moment that will never be replicated. Not even a motion picture of the masses can capture the expression or the sound of joy that the people are creating. Today, Paris is the center of the world. There is nowhere I would be rather than where I am today, Ma. Home with you and the rest of the family would be pleasant, and I will head back home soon, I promise, but Paris and France is free after four years and 3 months of conflict. The souls of these French people have solely bursted with delight, and it is spreading. Everyone feels united. It is difficult to purchase a flag in Paris currently. It appears that everyone has one and the old streets are one compact mass of colors with flags from all the allied nations. Paris, that majestic old city, that has been shadowy for so long, is now shining again. An American band has come together outside, and they are playing our national anthem. It is magnificent that the war is over. I can imagine the entire world is exultant. But nowhere on earth is there a celebration as here in Paris. I only hope and pray that the soldiers who died in the...

...movement continued to protest and fight for equal rights. Over time, they have become more unpopular for blocking off highways and interrupting presidential speeches. This has led to some black protests without directly mentioning the movement. This essay will examine Colin Kaepernick’s protests during the national anthem and the responses received as well as the impact his actions have had across the country. Colin Kaepernick is a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. He began the 2016 preseason by sitting down during the national anthem. For the first two games, he mostly went unnoticed. It was the third game that people started notice. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick explained. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” For the remainder of the season, Kapernick continued to protest during the national anthem. He later switched from sitting to kneeling out of respect for veterans and those serving in the military. Many of the reactions Kaepernick...

...Kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racial oppression is causing professionals like Lawrence Brownlee’s job to become difficult. As shown in Michael Cooper’s NYT article “Tenor Will Sing Anthem at N.F.L. Game but Supports Athletes’ Kneeling Protest” which explains Brownlee’s moral dilemma when asked to sing the anthem at an NFL football game. This comes from the battle of standing and kneeling during his singing, as he stands for both sides. Even though this act of protest is bringing light to their cause, it is not the way to fight their cause. The national anthem does not stand for the current state of America; it stands for the start of the evolution of our nation. The anthem is here for the fight for independence...

...August 2016 is a month that will forever be remembered in the history of the NFL and our country. One man sparked a movement that overtook the National Football League by storm over the next two years. This man being Colin Kaepernick, former super bowl caliber quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, had a message he thought deserved to be in the limelight and at the attention of all U.S. citizens who felt discrimination from people who hold higher positions in the United States. So as of August 14, 2016, Kaepernick began to sit out the national anthem in protest (Sandritter). This led to a snowball effect of wrongful discrimination towards most NFL players because of what they did following the Kaepernick events, how the politics got involved,...

...Police brutality is an issue among cities and states, recently protested at football games. Football players have been kneeling down to the national anthem in order to protest against the issue. Police brutality is the use of excessive or unnecessary force by police when dealing with normal day people. “Excessive use of force” means to do something well beyond what would be necessary in order to handle a situation, for example many policemen have been reported, shooting an unarmed person in the back. Even though police brutality is an issue it is disrespectful to the many people who fought for our freedom. NFL players should not kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality because the national anthem stands for our freedom that soldiers of the United States Army fought for....

Tracy signed General order #374, which made the Star Spangled Banner the official tune to be played at the raising of the flag.

...current events there have been some controversy on the subject of respecting and disrespecting the National Anthem. The National Anthem is played before every football game, especially National Football League games where there are hundreds of teammates either not participating or kneeling on one knee to represent freedom of speech.

...NFL players should not be allowed to protest during the national anthem, they should just do it on their own time. A league that has no problem with fineing its players for wearing the incorrect socks, shoes, or even twerking after a touchdown is now silent on the topic that players must standing during the singing of the national anthem. The same organization that would not allow their players to honor the police officers who lost their lives in Dallas, has no actual policy on whether or not it is acceptable for someone dressed in an NFL uniform to chill during the Star-Spangled Banner. The NBA which is typically considered the most player friendly association in all of north american sports, has a very specific rule on the national anthem, According to Chi (2017) “Players, coaches,...

...When is it too far? A U.S. army soldier is getting ready to enjoy a basketball game. They used to play basketball when they were younger. They feel proud as everyone stands to salute the flag, they feel proud to serve this country. Until they see one of the players on his favorite team not saluting the flag, but sitting during the national anthem! He is astonished. Why is he not respecting the flag? This has gone through many minds, soldier and non, when someone protests the flag. This should not happen. The anthem is a time for respect and patriotism, nothing else. Hence, athletes have gone too far targeting the flag. Athletes have gone too far because the anthem is meant for patriotism and not an opinion on politics, we are saluting our country and not our politics, and Kaepernick should have had a different target....

...Kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful because it’s displaying disrespect to the soldiers who are on active duty, soldiers who have died, and the soldiers who first fought for our flag.The men and women who are fighting for this country are symbolized by the American Flag and National Anthem. By these people kneeling it is displaying no appreciation for the soldiers who are still fighting for their freedom of speech. Although the offense these “ kneelers” have caused doesn’t stop there. For the families who have lost their loved ones in the wars have felt a strong offense to this issue America has been dealing with. The loved ones of many who have passed, look at the issue with the mind thought “ My loved one died for our freedom ,and this is how you repay them? “. Even hundreds of years after, people who study history and feel passionate about it or any life lost to the wars, can feel disrespected. The first brave soldiers who fought for the anthem and the flag had chosen to give their lives for generations after to enjoy their freedom and be able to cherish the land....

...From the 1968 Olympics where Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists during the National Anthem in solidarity with black people to Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the anthem in the past year or two, protesting in sports has always been around. The anthem is a very sensitive topic to debate on and although some people may say that not standing for the anthem is disrespectful to our veterans, the athletes are exercising their rights that are protected under the first Amendment Colin Kaepernick and the other athletes taking the knee are not being disrespectful, they are just standing up for what they believe in. There is a deeper meaning behind their controversial message. "I'm not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color... To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder." (Colin).
