well i mean i just dont get it, at the same time i might be missing something because i dont know much about the situation. all i know is he wont stand for the anthem and today my buddy told me he was quoted as saying something disrespectful about your guys' flag. i know there's many muslims in India being beaten and disrespected terribly by hindus, but they all still swear they will die for the (indian) flag because it is their home and they stand for the national anthem no matter how they get treated. so what reason(s) does josh have to feel so bitter and be like this? how can you disrespect your own flag? i live in canada and i stand whenever the american anthem is playing just because we are neighbors. i dont know, just something very blasphemous about it. you live in that country, you shouldn't be like that. are there certain lines in the anthem that he finds offensive..with all this rambling im coming across ignorant, arent i

I don't get it either, but it is his right. Maybe he's trying to say it's his right, by not standing but highly doubt it.

If he says an actual reason why I 'd like to know.
Until then no need to judge.

His ignorant immaturity is sadly on public display due to his position in the world of professional sports. Maturation will show him the error of his ways. He'll look back and say:ohno: .
