“I have noticed more and more of these anti-American comments dripping in here .”

I am far from anti-American. I was also one of the earliest Trump supporters on these boards.

I just don’t see how it builds patriotism to play the National Anthem in front of 50,000 drunk sports fans. That is a different question than is being asked. The league should put a stop to this by reverting back to the pre-2009 policy of keeping the players in the tunnel until after the anthem is played. Don’t give the Sh*t-A**ed baboons a stage.

They stood during the anthem of the country (Britain) that brought slavery to America. And they took a knee during the anthem of the country (United States) that ended slavery in America.

“... more and more of these anti American comments..”

Not defending Fai but if you read his info... he isn’t “from here”. Thus, I see his question as a true question.. relating to the history/meaning/etc. Of course, when we post a question... sometimes the reader will see a diss instead of a true question. Just my 2 cents.
