It is customary to stand for the anthem.
If they want to protest fine, but why during a celebration of our flag?
Sheriff Joe
DA
I can only guess it is in support of kaepernick.

PREMIER
Ok what was Kaepernick protesting for?
Catch me up on the whole thing Sir.

I already told you what I think, now you tell me why you think they are taking a knee and if you stand or kneel for the anthem.

I don't guess much
I read the article
Did you read what the UCLA coach said in the article?
Not once did they mention NFL players

Why is it so hard for you to answer the question, do you stand for our anthem?
Sheriff Joe

Obviously you did not read it,
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began sitting, and later kneeling, during the national anthem in August 2016, which has prompted a number of athletes at all levels to do the same in protest of racial oppression and police brutality.
Megan Rapinoe of the Seattle Reign and U.S. women’s national soccer team knelt during the anthem in September 2016. USWNT responded with a policy that requires everyone representing the team to stand during the anthem. Rapinoe now stands but refrains from coming onto the field until after the music is over.
Fleming, a Canadian, is one of three international players who took a knee during the anthem at Arizona. She was joined by fellow Canadian and freshman defender Kennedy Faulknor from Ontario, Canada, and sophomore goalkeeper Teagan Micah, who is from Queensland, Australia.
Six members of the UCLA squad, including two members of the coaching staff, knelt during the anthem before their game against the Wildcats. A few more Bruins knelt before notching a victory over Utah four days later.
“We’re supporting racial equality and racial justice. We make it known that the team is together and unified,” said coach Amanda Cromwell. “We have two veterans on our staff. I know the country is divided a little bit, but we honor our military by kneeling.”

Sorry didn't see your question
Joey my father served 25 years and many of my uncle's also served.

Btw this is what the article said
"We’re supporting racial equality and racial justice. We make it known that the team is together and unified,” said coach Amanda Cromwell. “We have two veterans on our staff. I know the country is divided a little bit, but we honor our military by kneeling.”
