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.
So, you never answered... do you stand for the flag, when at home? I do. I stop what I’m doing, too.
You can’t change the culture from the outside.
