Can’t see why people, even veterans I’m seeing on fox and friends are missing this point about tge truth and the basis of the flag

Fox reporters are infeeeuuuritaingly ignorant about the flag for ppl who claim to be knowledgeable-have responsibility to be- It’s like my fellow Catholic family and friends no idea there’s a catechism, much less consult it and refer to it for decision making or so, even while claiming to be Catholic

So in case the always wise and succinct JP is reading

I am a combat vet. Do not have a public forum. Should

Headed a post a made earlier in response to another freepers comment. In quotes

Don’t know why people are missing this truth. If it’s for ratings- shame

“I predict the hit baseball took from it’s striking players will be minor in comparison.”

This is about disrespecting the flag. Unless the NFL gets wise and denounces this they are done. Over. No way to sustain itself

The flag stands for our nation. Whatever grievance these guys have. However true or false it is, there is nothing in our founding tenets, our constitution, that either promotes, legalizes or even allows for racism or any kind of favoritism.

The flag does not stand for any of that. Doesn’t matter if people who claim to be patriotic are racists. Doesn’t matter if any of the founders were racists or personally promoted slavery.

The flag does not represent that.

Therefore, this protest against the flag - The National Anthem- is completely bogus. This is led by and promoted by men who lack the sense of logic it takes to sustain a protest. Where are their wives, families and associates on this, advising them? They are all going to fail and in shame

This is a protest based on emotion and nothing else. It does not matter what kind of destruction it brings or how many people are involved, it lacks a sensible premise.

It will take the NFL with it. Denouncing it would fix it but it is out of control. That should have been done immediately.

Tomorrow Rush is going to have to lead off with a statement on the Steelers.

Whatever he says, people are wise to realize that Trump is well aware when he calls a position what the stakes are going to be. If the NFL wants to go down swinging instead of calling it off, Trump will not flinch when this major entity goes down and out leaving stadiums empty like multiple Roman coliseum ruins, ruining the fortunes of owners, a major part of our cultural history taken out by its own moral weakness even while trying to blame Trump.

Because this started when the sun set on the day that first player disrespected the flag while on duty in uniform and his employers failed to denounce it immediately. They failed to cut it off at the start.

Disrespect for the flag, especially public, rampant, organized, as this is, can not be allowed without destroying the country.

Someone has to cut off this diseased entity.

It may as well be the president.

Anyone wavering on this will find out what a mistake it was in time
