It has more traction and more people are talking about it right now than any point in the past few years. You are wrong.
This entire "the national anthem is about the troops" shit is just stupid. If how you "respect" the troops is standing up while you turn a blind eye to sending them to die, over, and over, and over again ... you don't respect them no matter how many times you stand up.
I've spent way too much time reading FB comments on the GB Packers posts about how they're boycotting the NFL and these anthem protests are disgraceful. It's just insane.
