Looks like Joe Lockhart is going to have to form another focus group to test his response to this one.

“The Baltimore Ravens’ national anthem singer Joey Odoms, who’s a Baltimore native and is also a member of the Maryland Army National Guard”

Saves being fragged.

Ummmm, not quite. The singer is actually on the side of the kneelers and thinks he would be personally vilified by a large amount of fans if he expressed his support for the kneelers...

The kneeling is yet another leftist protest without a tangible/actionable demand.

Millions of people oppose these stupid “protests” but only the supporters are blabbed all over the place by the MSM.

They’re trying to legitimize it, and it’s not working.

He has not only disgraced himself and his family, by refusing to respect those who honor America and defend American values by not getting involved with this crap he has disgraced the uniform he wears.

I would characterize him as a "brainwashed fool/tool of the Left", but I think he knows exactly what he's doing and his decision to dishonor himself is his own.

Isn’t it always useful to see that the think “free speech for me but not for thee.”

The crowd did not have a right to its message, a rousing crescendo of booing, but he was just fine with the spouse and child abusing players disrespecting the flag.

Liberals really have suffered brain death

It says he is fed up with the FANS reactions, not the nfl pansy player's actions.

“...protests following President Donald Trump’s remarks last week”

The Daily News siding with the America haters. Duly noted

Actually it's not liberals ... many of whom support free speech and American values. It's the Left ... Leftists who are committed to dismembering our American Republic and destroying our Constitution.

The Left vs. liberals ... a critical distinction to keep in mind.

Does anyone understand that federal law defines how one is to behave when the national anthem is sung?

No, I didn’t think so.

He supports the phony protests, and like the NFL playahs, doesn't like the fans in the stands.
