I didn’t read your personal page.

I am a Navy veteran, and a disabled on at that. Hell, even when I was a wee lad, in the early 70’s, I stood at attention and saluted the flag when the national anthem was on at midnight to shut the TV down for the night. I’ve done it all my life.

YOU have a conservative boycott.

I’m doing my part - when I go to a game (extremely rare, even though I have season tickets and use capitalism to earn a little extra money), I have a poster that specifically points out that they should stand for the flag and anthem, and kneel for the cross.

Now, you go on with your self. We understand how you feel, so don’t bother coming back in these threads to express your outrage. You’re just like the hysterical women in the elevator with the senator.

Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I'm sure that you didn't read my personal page - why would you? After all, you were in the navy..and disabled too.

I am happy that you have stood for the National Anthem. Proud of you.

But you are perfectly aware that NFL players continue to kneel or sit or hide out in the locker room rather than show respect for our National Anthem - all because they insist that African-Americans are being killed unjustly by police officers. The owners won't do anything about it and you and your fellow NFL-watchers won't do anything about it, so I guess it's non-issue - right?

If that's the limit of your conservatism, then that's it.

President Trump has made it clear enough that the NFL leadership and the League show take a stand - and so have most Freepers.

It's too bad that you have an opportunity to stand up for the Anthem and the flag and respect for your country but won't. Watching other men exercise on a field means too much to you.
