Here's my take on it:
If you have a problem with what our government is doing at any given time, it's your prerogative to not stand at attention, etc, and I think that as Americans we should respect that person's choice. Freedom starts at home, kids....
but what professional athletes like Tori Smith don't realize is that when they stand with their teammates, they are representing their team. Nobody said Tori had to put hand over heart, but blatantly turning one's back is a very clear message and one that shows lack of respect for the TEAM. People have to realize things like that are a black eye for the team as well as themselves
