I can understand if you think that I’m disrespecting the flag by kneeling, but it is because of my utmost respect for the flag and the promise it represents that I have chosen to demonstrate in this way.
I Can
I am not trying to conform to an unrealistic model of beauty. I am, however, being proactive in being the healthiest I can be.

Selling beauty is something I can understand. Even selling false beauty seems perfectly natural; it's a sign of progress.

If somebody wants me to do something I've never done, I can do it more easily because of all of the years of sports I've played.

I can be very stoic looking, that's just my facial expression. I don't smile a lot.
