My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
I personally don't see what is so terribly disrespectful about kneeling silently instead of standing silently. It is nearly the most benign, passive form of protest I can think of...
But if anyone does think it is disrespectful/offensive, they would probably find the whole yelling Bison at the end disrespectful/offensive as well. With that said, which is a better reason: disrespect done as a silent protest, or disrespect simply for fun?

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

This discussion has me imagining playing the National Anthem every morning at our office and monitoring our employees level of attention.
The one I saw was kneeling before the Anthem started, in prayer and seemed to get caught by surprise when the National Anthem started, there was a couple others standing by him. He finished his prayer and then lined up with the others. He made a motion like our guys do in the end zone after they finish their prayer. That's what I saw anyway.

Standing in unison as one is a reminder that we are all in this together and all need to do our part. But, I guess you get what we have today when you take civics out of school!
