It is a known fact that Catholics do a lot of kneeling while venerating God. Kneeling is a form of adoration and is done to show a person’s holiness and love for God. Catholics genuflect when arriving at a pew in church. The Catholic Mass is loaded with genuflections at various sacred segments. We kneel during the consecration and the body of the mass. When the mass is concluded we genuflect again when we leave the pew as a sign of our respect for God, we do it automatically. So, when I see a line of football players kneeling in the stadium I see a line of very holy men adoring the flag of our country as we sing the National Anthem. How much better can one get to show that kind of love and respect for our country?
Evidently the flap in the news about how unpatriotic these men are is another fake news item. What they are really doing is venerating the flag in a most holy way.

I once attended a Catholic mass about 17 years ago. I think the kneeling was too much. It’s tiresome.
So, do I take it that you would recommend these fine stalwart football players stand with a hand over their hearts while the anthem is played rather than kneel in adoration?
