RESPECT FOR THE AMERICAN FLAG

Canada Free Press ^ | 10/06/16 | Col. Bill Connor

I refuse to watch any NFL games while Kaepernick and other players continue to disrespect the flag. Symbols do matter –deeply to me – and this great nation God gave us matters

Pres. Theodore Roosevelt once said, “There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.” Indeed. But with the start of the 2016 National Football League (NFL) season, Americans have become witness to a shockingly disgraceful – and in some quarters, mimicked – display of disloyalty.

You’ve all by now seen it. San Francisco 49ers backup-quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the playing of the National Anthem. Defending and attempting to justify his actions, Mr. Kaepernick said, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color… There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

Eff the National Felons League.

Just give up the NFL altogether, you won't miss it at all.

I've been NFL free for over 15 years now and can't name a single player (except the kneeler). Life is fine without it and the nonsensical arguments that come with it and it's somewhat mindless fans.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Nfl commish shows his bias by not simply stating that representing your team means respect for the flag and the national anthem...While you are paid for an American team, you show respect...go object on your own time!

Now contrast him with recently deceased young man from Major League Baseball. He died in a boating accident about 2 weeks ago.

“Jose Fernandez -the NL Rookie of the Year in 2013 - came to the United States by boat as a 15-year-old Cuban refugee in 2008. Along the way, he rescued his mother, who had fallen overboard.

However, his beloved grandmother, who Fernandez calls a “baseball freak,” was left behind.

“She’s the love of my life... my everything,” Fernandez said.

The day before winning the Rookie of the Year Award, a shocked Fernandez was reunited with his grandmother in Florida with help from Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.

Are you typing in total darkness?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Don’t oppress them anymore by watching them play a game for millions of dollars.

When they have to get real jobs they might appreciate what they have lost.

[demkicker]

We won’t be watching anymore NFL games. You MUST read this letter to the NFL Commissioner. I received it in an email and agree 100%:

Commissioner,

I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and Giants Stadium.
I missed the ‘90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines
in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the
American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last
conversation with one of them, Sgt Garrett Mongrella, was about how
our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.

Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or
for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped
over their coffins.

Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their
lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died
for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of
real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside
playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re
not! My Marines and Soldiers were!

You are complicit in this!

You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the
moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an
immediate stop to this.

Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a
despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected
you or the refs publicly?

I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end
zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the
flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right
to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?

Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine
players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the
sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They
are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing
a freaking game! You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re
just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any
sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn
off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur,
without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.

Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and
carry rifles.

They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their
families. They don’t do it for a few hours on Sunday. They do it 24/7
often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch
their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee
iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.

Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America.
They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down
to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.

I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in
that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are,
legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those
worms with you!

Time to change the channel.

The NFL is verboten in my house now.
I’m thinking seriously about ending my half-century with USAA—a sponsor.
I don’t have much economic power, but I refuse to give a nickel of it to supporters of anti-Americanism or racists.

[Torahman]

My extended family are done with the NFL. We will enjoy times of family togetherness and activities that enrich our lives without the idolatry of leftist ideology.

[Falconspeed]

According to Andy Donchin, a media buyer at Amplifi US, “We cannot pinpoint any specific reason why the numbers are down.” From a Wall Street Journal article.

They know. Duh! The numbers are down for one specific reason:
NFL players are insulting Patriotic Fans like me.
Go to a Rams or NBA game? Yeah, right. I don’t want to go watch thugs.

[Huaynero]

Eff the National Felons League.

...yeah, eff’m with a rusty meat hook liberally coated with salt.
