'most nuanced'?..... interesting phrase
   
to me it's quite simple

you either respect the Country, it's flag and anthem...

... or you don't

Without speaking specifically about the Kaepernick situation, I beg to differ.  It is possible to love the United States and believe it is the greatest country on earth, and nonetheless believe it could be better and that it is our responsibility as citizens to point out where it does not meet its ideals.  To criticize the country is not to disrespect it; to call attention to its imperfections is not to hate it; to object to certain policies is not to be disloyal to it.  Indeed, to strive to improve the country is probably the greatest act of loyalty a citizen of this nation can undertake.
