So… the NFL huh? Take a knee huh? Let me just ask a few questions… Are they Americans? Yes. Are they proud to be Americans? I’d have to say no. Why? Clearly, they do not respect America, Our Troops, or Our Flag. My absolutely favorite most true quote: “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov. This is spot on especially now with the ignorant NFL players.
Every Sunday or the occasional Thursday – I would get my favorite beer [Bud Light] and some good ole greasy food and plop my ass on the couch watching my Patriots STAND for the National Anthem with the hand over their hearts [the way it should be] and win the game. Now it has become yet another political joke on television and radios. I have said this before and I will say it again because how true it is and I love it. The Flag is not Trump, Obama, a skin color, a race, religion, or an ideology. That Flag is you, your parents, your grandparents, OUR Country, OUR Troops that fight for us daily. Being a proud American is not how you think it’s how you act, how you stand for your country and your Flag. When you stand for the Flag your standing for yourself, your standing for peace, for freedom, and unity. All your doing by kneeling is dividing the people - wouldn’t you rather bring us together? Watching football brought people together no matter of your skin color, religion or even political views and now it’s all about politics and skin color. To me that’s sickening especially for how far we have come as a country. Yes, we have “free speech” and all that but if I tried to pull this shit at my JOB I’d be fired in a heartbeat and so would more than half Americans. Put your differences aside along with your political and racial views and just play some good old fashion football the way it used. I know myself and many, many more Americans feel the same way. I hate seeing other patriots fans burning their patriots gear. It’s sad. So please stop this for your fans. -Lifelong pats fan.
