Former NFL coach Mike Ditka had a lot to say about the NFL players who plan to take a knee during the national anthem. He simply doesn’t care for it and he suggests anyone who’s taking a knee for the national anthem may as well get out of the country.
But don’t listen to me. Take it from the man himself as quoted by TMZ: “If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country. That’s the way I feel. Of course, I’m old fashioned, so I’m only going to say what I feel. You don’t protest against the flag and you don’t protest against this country who’s given you the opportunities to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen… so, I don’t want to hear all the crap.”

Africans don't like African-Americans.
The media is already saying that viewership and merchandise revenue for major league sports is tanking. But they go out of their way to say it has absolutely NOTHING, zip, zero, nada, to do with the national anthem and the BLM support. It is solely because people are focused on COVID-19, and don’t have money for merchandise from the economic hit they took from the virus. But definately NOT BLM or the anthem....
I am going down into my basement to light a candle at my Ditka Shrine.
“If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country.”
Amen.
especially football players...they make millions playing a game that in the entire world, is only played in the United States...(i know..Canada plays a weird version of it)....un grateful scum bags.
Maybe Drew Brees will give him a call and offer counseling.
I remember someone remarking that only a Republican could be involved in a sex scandal with his own wife.

No pity party for multimillionaires who feel eternally sorry for themselves? Oh poor me. Oh poor me....
WOW - that won’t go over well with the perpetual ingrates...
Ditka Rules!
Hope he’s armed to the teeth.
BLM might pay him a visit for those ‘hateful comments’.
I saw him and his wife one time at his restaurant on the second floor enjoying their dinner in peace. This was back in the day when cigars were once allowed. I was there again about nine years ago and the second floor was turned into a damn yuppie bar... Sans cigars. Shame. It was a great place and now I read the restaurant was just recently shuddered.
Role model
Shuttered....
Mike could have beaten bammy boy to a pulp....

we have to make it tank....don’t buy anything with a sports emblem that gives money to any of these ingrates and their minions...no nba,no nfl, no mlb, and please refrain also from anything wnba....I know that one will really hurt....lol.
Not so long ago this was not a controversial view. Sad to see what has happened.
Is that true? Is there somewhere that substantiates that? Not that I doubt you, but I hadn’t heard she lied.
“If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country.”
Maybe this can take the place of the pledge of allegiance in school. It means the same thing. We need simpler language perhaps.
