HEAD TO HEAD Is kneeling during the national anthem disrespectful?

On Sept. 6, 2016, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat during the national anthem. Kaepernick has knelt at every game since in protest. There is an ongoing debate on his actions toward the national anthem, the United States flag, military service men, women and the nation as a whole. We went head to head to answer the question, is it disrespectful to take a knee during the national anthem?
