AMVETS follows up rejected #PleaseStand ad
AmVets ^ | Jan. 25, 2018 | AmVets

“Our message has always been patriotic and polite. It simply requests that people choose to stand during the National Anthem. It neither judges, vilifies or even opposes those who choose otherwise,” said AMVETS Executive Director Joe Chenelly.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: flag; nationalanthem; nfl
The NFL doesn’t want you to see this PSA. This is the 30-second spot deemed to be too "political" by the NFL. Rather innocuous, IMO.

“Our message has always been patriotic and polite."

The time for polite is over.

Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave."

Serenity.

I did not realize they can pick and choose who can advertise. I thought it was a free access issue due to the networks use the public air waves?

The AMVET ad should be supported out here, should go viral, and be seen everywhere.

The Super Bowl is now an organization of Anti-American activity, players, owners and leadership.

If there is any way we can help, many would like to do so.

Can’t, I’m cubical bound and the company servers restrict the web sites I can visit. Fortunately, FR is allowed. Luckily, I’m in a good mood. Otherwise I would unload on your pompous a$$.

Private businesses should not be forced by the government to provide services to anyone, right? This is a free public service announcement, not an ad, and Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine that at one time required broadcasters to give equal time to all sides.

We chose freedom, this is a consequence of that choice.

If that were true, then they could reject political adds from one candidate to favor another. I know for a fact they have to provide equal access. My wife sales ad time for a cable provider.

I firmly believe that President Trump respects the flag of The United States of America because...

He was born on Flag Day!
