I despise Barack Obama. I despise what he did to my country. I hated his apologizing for America. I hated his dividing the country. I hated his pitting segments of the nation against each other. I hated his seeing himself as President of the World and not President of the United States. I hated his weaponizing the IRS to persecute conservatives. I hated his abusing the law to spy on Donald Trump in the name of national security. I hated his selling automatic weapons to drug cartels in Mexico. I hated his writing laws unilaterally.
I also despise Colin Kaepernick, and now I despise the entire NFL.
The Ravens and the Jaguars played a game in London (so I hear) and it seems many players took a knee during the US national anthem and then stood for UK national anthem.
The Pittsburgh Steelers could not be bothered to even come out on the field for the flag.
The other day Donald Trump spoke for an awful lot of Americans when he suggested fans boycott the NFL if players refuse to stand for their flag and anthem. He also added:
In response, Roger Goodell issue a statement in which he said:'Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, "Get that son of a b***h off the field right now! He is fired. He's fired!"' Trump boomed.
His crowd applauded and chanted 'USA! USA!'
"Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities."Divisive? The divisiveness began with Kaepernick, who has parlayed a lack of skill and a pissy, whiny attitude into a movement. The divisiveness continued when the league allowed this stupid behavior continue.
My grandfather used to say "You don't crap where you eat."
I am pretty damned tired of pampered, spoiled morons in the NFL whining about how tough their lives are and how they are oppressed. Here are a few people whose lives are somewhat more compromised than your average footballer:

Indeed. The flag is not Donald Trump, the flag is America and everything America stands for. Donald Trump is the President, he is not America. Dissing the flag is dissing America, not dissing Donald Trump.
Patriots understand that. Which is why no matter how much I despise Barack Obama I would never not stand for my anthem and my flag.

President s come and Go the Flag is the one constant
Is this THE Dr. John?
Or, with the Donald as the head of the wWite race and the embodiment of whiteness world wide have they transferred their protests to him?
Have Colin get with me to straighten this out, please.
I seek clarity.
Omg I just noticed I capitalized White and didn't capitalize negro. I'll burn in hell for a dirty racist. Oh well, can't change it now. All out of cyber ink.
Musta been the wrong time....
America is not what it once was, a great nation. And many Americans are no longer what they once were, great. Now just politically correct animals.
Re post #2: Yes.
Oops. Actually, I meant post #3.
Presidents come and go. The flag remains ever present.
Good point, and I must say I did the same. I was not at all comfortable or happy with the guy Barry Soetelo, but I always could respect the flag.
Well, we always knew Obama and the American flag weren’t even nodding acquaintances.
Thanks Starman417.
