Herschel Walker, the ex-NFL luminary, is firing on all cylinders for America’s military heroes and first responders — hot on the heels of his recent criticism of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for not quelling the national anthem protests.
Walker’s latest patriotic fervor comes with a super prize for a hero of the US uniformed and emergency services: a free customized, hand-painted, American-made 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, worth $80,000.
“I absolutely think the protests are so upsetting, and I blame the commissioner,” he said.
“I know people are going to be angry when I say it, but he should have stopped the protests at the very beginning.”

That’s gonna hurt.
Walker — who used to play for President Trump’s short-lived USFL New Jersey Generals in the ’80s — knows a thing or two about business.
He signed with Rocky Ridge Trucks to promote the manufacturer’s True American Hero Truck Giveaway contest (gives.rockyridgetrucks.com).
The winner of the national contest will be an individual with exemplary records of public service in the military, or as a domestic first responder. Finalists will be invited to the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention in Las Vegas in March for a drawing to select the winner.
Walker, meanwhile, helms a string of successful businesses, which include the Renaissance Man Food Services, honored for smashing records in the US and Canada as a minority-owned food processor.
My favorite Georgia Bulldog.
I always thought the National Anthem was for all US citizens—and anyone aspiring to be one. Take a knee, set aside the military and first-responders, I take it to mean you’re taking a knee against all the honest, hardworking, tax-paying citizens and residents that make the United States the greatest nation on earth.
NF who??? Never heard of em....they’re dead to me.
Walker is a freak of nature. Everything he does he excels.
hot on the heels of his recent criticism of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for not quelling the national anthem protests.
It really does my heart good to see some folks take a stand like this.
Of course we all should, and so no one should necessarily be more appreciated for it, but when Walker does it here, I know his voice will be louder in some circles.
I salute him for this. If I knew nothing else about him, I would have a very favorable view of him based on this.
What a great stand to take. I know we’re all with him on this.
Making our Georgia Bulldogs and fans very happy. Get ‘em Herschel!!
All the liberal USA haters seem to support this. Hollywood, Goddell, ESPN, the lame stream media, greivance mongrels, etc. They are going to destroy the MFL and they are trying to divide and destroy what made the USA great. The BLM, war against women, illegal immigrant causes and worship of islam is of the same leftist war against American Greatness.
I think he was on celebrity apprentice
Not only that, but it’s not like America is some self-deluded commie utopia worshipping a Dear Leader. We’re not standing for perfection, we’re standing for the continued struggle and fight for Freedom that being an American entails.
I was so annoyed to find that the NFL players while in London stood for the British (rather imperialistic) anthem “God Save the Queen”but kneeled for ours! Made no sense! It’s one thing to kneel HERE, but while representing us abroad? NO! bad. :(
Race card for government blessings.
I agree with him. He is definitely a man’s man as far as I am concerned.
That was tremendous; thanks for posting!
I agree, and it was my pleasure to provide a link so others could hear it.

Every decent person likes the national anthem! Here’s Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead doing it at a baseball game acapella. And they did it straight. I swear you can almost see them imagining the scene as they sang it.
