As a taxpayer subsidized organization, the National Football League (NFL) and its members should not be permitted to publicly insult veterans, first responders, families of those who have sacrificed their lives for this country, and any patriotic American with its public displays of sitting, kneeling, exercising or other disrespectful behavior during the performance of our national anthem or flag ceremonies.
We the people petition the Federal Government and the United States Air Force to abstain from providing the traditional "flyover" aerobatic display performed during the opening ceremonies of the NFL Superbowl, beginning immediately, until representatives of the NFL publicly apologize for their insulting behavior and pledge to abstain from any such similar future behavior.

It should be for every NFL game.
Agree. We don’t need to celebrate these thugs and their owners.
Done!
I signed, BOL! #2 when approved.
Needs to be: “Ban any military flights (not just Air Force) over any NFL Game or exhibition.!”
I don’t care if the publicly apologize or if they quietly tip-toe back...just make it stop and stop now.
NFL had no problem condemning 9-11 tributes and the like...screw this.
The military pays the sport teams for this ‘honor’ of the flyover.

Let’s take a look at race, shall we? How many whites, hispanics and blacks join the military?
War on.........
Signed #3 !!!
Agree that it needs to be ALL games.
Um, as I understand it, the US Air Force and other military branches PAID the NFL in order to be able to do the flyovers and other patriotic military demonstrations, activities, and promotions.
The government/military has been contributing to the NFL money machine for quite some time.
