The National Anthem at sporting events was due to an act of congress during the Great Depression. It has nothing to do with sports. Took their minds off how bad things were. Patriotism is the last bastion of the scoundrel. The left is using the same tactics-different words. As for Kapernick he will not be allowed to kneel if he wants to play for another. His attitude will ‘change’. I shouldn’t have to explain.
As stupid as you sound, I wouldn't expect you to get it, but the quote means that having exhausted all other options, the scoundrel will turn to a faux patriotism to try to save his hide. It does not mean that patriotism is bad, just that it is sometimes used as cover by unsavory people.
Been at the hooch tonight?
They should also get rid of American “Ideal” commercials.
Celebrate the American Soldier. Natch.
Celebrate the Firefighter. Scrubbed.
Law Enforcement? Who?
Mom? Who is she?
Apple Pie? Not without a good cinnamon crust.
Coke? Mean Joe Greene was a putz...
Yuh know. American sports and celebrating American Exceptionalism are quaint “notions”. There “alot” of great countries.....
