I didn’t see one race car driver take a knee today when the National Anthem was sung today at the start of the Indy 500.


Good to hear. I’m done with the NFL live watching if my team takes a knee.....

Been a fan for 60 years, but also come from a family with WW1, WW2, normandy vets . Grandad, and Dad, and me Vietnam Era....

We didn’t risk our lives for some “ aggrieved cause” especially with in most cases 20 year old multi millionaires...

That’s right. I don’t know how many times I’ll have to say it, but I will again and again until these overpaid brats understand me. When I hear our National Anthem, I am thinking of those veterans past and present who fought for our country, some of whom made the ultimate sacrifice. I am not thinking about the police and firemen necessarily, though I applaud them also for their sacrifices.

When someone takes a knee at our National Anthem, that person is dissing our veterans. I’m not keen on that. I cannot support their kneeling.
