Ruth Bader Ginsburg: National anthem protest is 'dumb and disrespectful'

USA Today  . . . "Colin Kaepernick began to kneel during the national anthem earlier this season to protest police misconduct and racial inequality. He has been joined in his protest by a number of other NFL players, USWNT player Megan Rapinoe and a number of high school football players. Though there have been wide measures of support across the sports world, Ginsburg is certainly not the first to argue the protest is disrespectful.
“ 'If they want to be stupid, there’s no law that should be preventive,” Ginsburg said. “If they want to be arrogant, there’s no law that prevents them from that. What I would do is strongly take issue with the point of view that they are expressing when they do that.' ”
