I just wish when this happens, wherever it happens, that all the people in the stadium would get up and WALK OUT!!

We have to keep up the pressure on the NFL and their advertisers.

We cannot compromise or give in.

The Leftists want this anti-Americanism and anti-Trump activity to take root and to increase them.

Screw them.

Every sacrifice we make now will yield large dividends in this battle in the culture war.

Thanks for posting this. I applaud this Sheriff!

I’m thoroughly disgusted that the TV media, including Fox News, keeps showing shots of the Cowboys kneeling.

That occurred BEFORE the anthem!

When it was time for the anthem they ALL stood, but the media never show that.

So what if they stood?
They refused to put their hands over their heart and respect our nation.
fvck the Dallas Cowturds and Jerry Jones too.

They were standing in unity for the anthem, not disrespecting the anthem, flag, veterans, current military personnel, first responders, etc.

If you think back to before this kneeling crap started you would see that most players on all teams did not put their hands over their hearts; they just stood silently. Same thing in the MLB and NBA.

The Cowboys unified, by giving any team members who felt some reason to protest to do so with the team before the anthem, but then to stand as a team for the anthem.

You ok with someone telling you what you can do when you're on your own time ?

What you can and can't do to earn your keep ?

They are putting their lives at risk only to be disrespected by the teams and the owners who condone this behavior.

Anything else you want to mandate for us Herr Kommissar ?

If you take a fire fighting, law enforcement, or military job then you give things up for the duration.

Not sure how to explain the rudimentary concepts of honor and duty to a civilian in a culture which largely mocks honor and duty.

These are police officers, my dad was one. They represent the employer, even when off duty. In this case, wearing official uniforms, thus, yes, it is sheriff’s call. Good for him.
