Teaching them to worship the country and its symbols.
Respect, yes; honor, yes; worship, no.
There is only one God.

It’s what that ‘piece of cloth’ represents not the cloth. Go join the LIBTARDS if it offends you. Other wise RESPECT IT properly.

Your statement is OFFENSIVE!

When they try to explain Colin Kaepernick’s rationale, be sure to note that he was likely to be soon cut from the team, so he had a strong motivation to create a public stir, to make it appear that this was the reason for his dismissal, not that he was just a lousy football player.

I’ve always said if the Confederate Flag and all that encompasses is ‘evil’ because of ‘slavery’ then so are the Founders, the American flag, our history and us.

This will never stop unless whites stand up and make it stop.

Patriotism comes from home. Schools have ignored and castigated anything patriotic for many years. A coach could have advised against this and prevented bad exposure for his team.

Now that you mention it, I’d love to order the WWII awards for my mother and my father. Both were U.S. Navy. Mom was a WAVE. I already do have some of their medals. My father’s dog tags really mean a lot to me. I do know though that the fire in St. Louis may have destroyed their records. That’s a shame.

The obvious next step is for organizations to stop playing the national anthem before games. Just you watch. Another massive victory for the Left.

Public (American) tax dollars taken by that school?
American flags in every classroom and auditorium there?
Pledge of Allegiance ever recited there?
Any Christian-related groups ever allowed ads in their newsletters?
Pro-muzzie activities allowed there?
Pro-gay activities supported there?

Isolate, spotlight, ridicule. Rules.

>>Is football committing suicide...like basketball did?

Not quite. America is committing suicide....like basketball did. No country can survive when it listens to the infantile tantrums of a group of people that predominantly shuns responsibility, work, discipline, and the nation itself. Somehow, this parasitic minority has become a role model.


Truth.

Ironic that Kapurnik is half white and was raised in good home by white family.

We must boycott any team that puts up with this crap.

Our Military personnel go through Hell every day in Hell holes around the world fighting and dying under that flag.

The least we can do is give up our favorite sports or our favorite teams when they show such contempt for the flag.


Agreed!
