Chargers Will Greet Kaepernick and 49er’s With Most Patriotic Pregame in History
Controversial Times ^ | 08/31/16 | Regan wilson

Well, the next time Kaepernick’s 49er’s take the field they will be in one of the biggest military cities in the nation – San Diego. The Chargers are rolling out something very special for their game against Kaepernick’s team.

The game is being called the “Salute to the Military” and will feature a number of entertainment options which will honor the United States, the American Flag and our nation’s military.

Among the festivities will be 240 service members holding a 150ft x 300ft “super flag” during the national anthem, retired Navy SEALs parachuting into the stadium during the pregame show, Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Powell will sing both the National Anthem as well as a rendition of “God Bless America”, and the Marine Corps band will be on hand for all pregame activities.

“At halftime the Chargers will recognize six Vietnam War veterans as a remembrance of the 50th anniversary of the war,” the team announced. “The Chargers will also have wounded warriors as special guests and a patriotic fireworks show to wrap up half-time.”

Kaepernick has vowed to continue his protest of sitting out during the anthem.

How much will ESPN and the NFL channel show of the festivities? My guess, not much.

The media and liberals think that they’re the majority in America. Guess what?

I hope the celebration is streamed online - the networks usually don’t show these things.

Kaepernick is an enemy islamist.

Maybe one of the parachutists can “accidentally” kick him up aside his head on their way down.

I agree, Gail! But the only problem with booing this jerk off the field is that he’s not good enough to get ON the field!

You mean with the ENHANCED boobs, those are not natural and they droop. Did No one tell her they have to be replaced every Decade or they can leak? I know several Breast cancer survivors with them. And the secondary surgery isn’t as pleasant, as you are older and skin doesn’t heal as well.
