I don't need the political statement.  I watch sports to watch sports.  If I want political commentary I will watch CNN, Fox, or whatever.  It's why I can hardly stand to watch the Olympics anymore.  Bob Costas spends most of his time veering into left field on some political rant.

I agree, sports are sports and politics are politics.  If the anthem is now a political statement, why play the anthem at all? It's not going to hurt anyone if they play the game without the anthem.

Here's a question for everyone, if it were not for sports, how many times in your life have you heard the national anthem?  It sounds stupid, but I'm having trouble placing when I've heard the anthem outside a sporting event. Obviously I have, but not many times.

You do the typical Lib thing, and state something that is 180° from reality, and you don't see the mindlessness of your statement. 
Transgenders are 0.43% of the U.S. population,...less than 1/2%,...less than 1 in 200...
The making America a "me" country started when all the special interest groups put Their interests ahead of the country, and worse, expect the other 99.57% to get onboard, pass laws, etc.
All special interests have a common drum beat,...they accuse the vast majority of America of the Very Thing that they do,...intolerance.
We just are Expected to accept every sick, demented thing that comes down the pike,...or we're labelled as intolerant.
But, ....why is prayer, and the Ten Commandments not tolerated in schools? It's not like they're telling people to do bad things, quite the opposite. It's because the special interest groups don't want reminders that some things about their lifestyle might be immoral.
The tail wags the dog in America, and has for some time now.

They are a small percentage but polling america they have more than 50% support of people... no where in the 10 commandments do i see anywhere the commandment to judge and condemn others

...and nowhere in my post did I judge and condemn anyone. They're people with issues, some medical, physical, and/or psychological. We all can have those kinds of issues. My point is that you don't try to enact laws that adversely affect the 99.57% of society, like the 0.43% is More Important than the rest of us.

This guy makes my point more eloquently than I did.

I do have compassion for them. Who is being judgmental now, if not you, and your buddy konjo78? You don't know my mind, or heart.
But, having compassion for them doesn't mean we Redefine what a male/female is.

Why don't you ask Jesus?  I'll let Him be the judge.
