At least the KGB targeted Roger’s father for possible influencing and coopting because he was so stupid.

Now Roger is just openly proving that stupidity runs in the family, like lukewarm diarrhea.

Go to www.keywiki.org, look up “Edward Kennedy” to see the FBI letter warning about KGB targets in Congress, 1970.

The good guy on that list is James “Jimmie” Fulton”. He encouraged me to testify before Congress against a Hanoi propaganda operation front. That is why the KGB targeted him. He was their enemy and they had to try and destroy him.

The rest on the list were either hardcore leftists or squishy Republican RINOS, easy to manipulate and couldn’t care less about their actions.

“It’s not an indication of any lack of support,” Goodell said. “We have a VFW ad that talks about, celebrates the important work that our veterans are doing, and of course you all know we’re going to have 15 Medal of Honor winners that we’re bringing together at the Super Bowl, which I think is the largest number of Medal of Honor winners ever brought together at any event other than their annual national gathering.”

He's not proud enough to find out how they should be referred to and MOH "winners" aint it.

So when did standing for the anthem or praying for the country become political? I am sending the below letter to about forty papers and commentators tomorrow. And no , I am not watching the game.

Siraj Hashmi in the Washington Examiner said it’s time to put feelings on ice that are offended by football players kneeling. That does not work for me, because feelings are not involved in this disparagement of the country equivalent to burning the Star-Spangled Banner.

Here is the clearest musical symbol of the Constitution I swore to support and defend. Therefore, for me grievances must be solved while maintaining basic reverence for the country. My allegiance requires standing for the National Anthem, and kneeling to pray for my country. These actions proceed from the indefinitely binding oath excerpted below.

“I, (Name), having been appointed an officer in the United States Navy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”

When America’s fallen arrive at Dover Air Force Base, the caskets are covered with a Star-Spangled Banner. When they are buried the flag is removed, elegantly folded, and given to a relative.

For me contemplating this oath and that ceremony renders the protesters feckless and self-absorbed, and their causes becomes squalid and frivolous.

I remember when success was defined in terms of marriage, raising kids, career, etc. Now success can mean convincing others to adjust their behavior for the supposed emotional damage projected by people deciding to infect themselves with an apparent grievance. The result forces people into codependent relationships, which I will not join.

I was a big NFL fan. At first I was merely dismayed by the flag protests, and hoped that it would pass and I could just ignore it.

Thanks to the actions and statements of the NFL since this starte, I now hate them and am not shy about letting others know why. “Medal of Honor winners” my ass, was it a sweepstakes?

Screw the NFL. Maybe these heroes feel that they can turn it around and bless them for trying, but until Goodell is fired and the league pledges to never allow this sort of crap again, no sale.

Excellent, Roger.

Keep digging that hole.

Say hello to the Chinese when you get there.

I cringe all the time when I hear someone say a veteran won a medal. A medal is either earned by set criteria or “awarded” for a subjective act of bravery or heroism.

Roger Goodell is more overpaid than Kim Kardashian.

The NFL Trump Haters led by Mr. Goodell have so disgraced themselves I am disgusted by it.

I don’t see how any sane or decent person would watch their game this weekend.

It y’all thought, as did I, that this dust-op was over a commercial, it’s not. It is a print ad, a pic of a color guard from the side, with #PleaseStand as the main text.

Goodell is a fink, but the underlying problem is this:

I hope this doesn’t get me banned but I believe this is the truth. Seventy percent of NFL players are black, and many if not a majority of those are men of questionable character.

We’re not talking my beloved 1972 Dolphins, which included Hall of Famers Paul Warfield and Larry Little, who were a credit to the game and to African Americans in general.

Today, there are plenty of qualified white players who never get a shot at the NFL. It’s gone beyond reverse discrimination to the point where anything Caucasian is deemed inferior by the powers-that-be.

For my part, I want to watch my own people play America’s sport the way it was meant to be played. Most of my football these days comes from watching old clips from the 50s and 60s on You Tube.

I just can’t abide what a generation of entitled minority miscreants has done to one of the greatest spectacles ever devised by man’s ingenuity.

Whites invented American football. We have played it at a high level. Our game has been taken from us by a leftist league. We are continually lied to about not having the speed or strength to compete with blacks.

When the NFL’s racial balance returns to something resembling that of the USA, it may have a shot at becoming great again.

The NFL has moved from Pat Tillman and Rocky Blier to Colin Kapernick. Horrible.

The weather forecast for Minneapolis on Sunday is a high of six degrees and a low below zero.

While the game will be indoors the jerks who go to the game will freeze their ___es off if they take one step outdoors.

Think of it as a clue!
