The NFL has made it clear that they hate America.
America should return the favor.

AMVETS lost all credibility with me when they agreed to pay the NFL $30,000 for the ad in the first place.

Veterans aren’t the NFL’s audience any more.
Their audience wears their pants around their knees.

I was glad to learn that the Jag’s lost - this was the team that went to the UK to play and kneeled for our National anthem but stood for the UK’s.
