Really great story, thanks for this post.

The movie is on YouTube. I for one would like to ship them to cuba and watch the cops tell the black players they were pulled out of the trees and had their tails cut off.
I read this in Hollywood’s favorite dictator.
I’m not sure the story would have quite the same pathos if the protagonist had had an IQ of 63.
“The Man Without a Country” is a great story—I read it in junior high school. The protagonist, Philip Nolan, was a real person—a horse trader and freebooter on the Spanish frontier who had some wild adventures before dying in a firefight with Spanish troops while on a filibustering expedition in Texas in 1801.
Same with Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery". Absolutely chilling but, in this world, you never know...
NFL player read ? Come on, these guys are idiots but should we really be making fun ?
NFL players read . . . . that’s a good one !!
A friend comes to his room and sits on the bed telling him the stories and progress of his now, beloved USA!!! Every NFL, NBA, MLB "America Hater should read this magnificent short story...that motivated the UNION cause of ending slavery and keeping the USA united. and...these fools should also read over & over again....Lincoln's magnificent, Gettysburg Address.
Great vanity ... Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely one of the writings every American should read.
The Union was motivated by money and the northern mill owners who wanted the cotton

The NBA commissioner has announced that the NBA players will stand respectfully during the anthem or be disciplined. Apparently the basketball commissioner has bigger balls to work with than the NFL.
NFL response: “Meh. Read some old book written by some dead (no doubt slave-owning) white guy, about another white guy? No way!”
I was thinking about this story just the other week and could not remember the name.
I remember reading it in school, 5th or 6th grade, and talking it over with my dad who had also read it in school in the same teachers class.
Unfortunately the people who most need to read it are the least able to comprehend it.
But, one, they are professionals. They are acting way below anybody's professional standards in kneeling. It's nothing but childish.
Two, they are at work for their employers and most importantly, the fans who help fund their salaries. No employer lets their employees act out politically in the workspace without being stopped or shown the door.
They should protest after the game, outside the stadium, without NFL clothing or logos on. Their problem is that they are doing it in a way that rubs it into patriotic Americans faces while at a sporting event that are expensive to attend.
Three, they should not be kneeling in disrespect for our flag, the National Anthem and America, if they are protesting something else. They can't have it both ways.
They can't kneel in protest during the National Anthem, disrespecting both it, the flag and those who put their lives on the lines to insure these whiners have the chance to get wealthy by playing a game and then claim they are not disrespecting those things in the same breath.
This whole kneeling thing is a great example of mass hysteria. No one does the right thing. They just follow the lowest common denominator and make fools of themselves in the process.
Are there no adults in the NFL? Roger Goodell is not. He's part of the problem. Somebody needs to stand up to this and come down on the side of standing, not kneeling. Holding the right hand held over the heart and not clenched in a fist held high. Face the flag, be still, stop talking and show respect.
Must no be taught anymore because a whole lot of people don't know what it means anymore.
