They ALWAYS rock around too much. Always have. Trying to keep themselves loose.

I think there is lots of disrespect on the sidelines, as they’re too into doing their macho game to even pause for a minute in solemn reverence.

This is not meant to be hateful to the country, but it’s selfish and careless, and they have not been taught proper reverence. Something I also worry about with church - focus on the prayer, not your friend over there, and bow in silence. This is how the younger generations have been allowed to behave.

Compare and contrast with soccer.

Players stand still singing the anthem at the top of their lungs. What’s funny is the microphone is usually on them, and well let’s just say it’s a good thing they make their living playing soccer rather than singing, but they still do it.

It is the league, the owners, and the commissioner which are complicit. One or two patriotic teams does not make up for the massive insults to ward dead and wounded. The donations by the players to radical un american groups, the insults and quotes which ran all year from the commissioner on down.

F-— the NFL and the Escalades they drove up in.

“How much extra did they get paid to act like they support this country?”

NFL paid cash tribute to their personal favorite anti-American racist organizations.
