The day a college football player stood alone to honor America
Fox News ^ | October 17, 2016 | Todd Starnes

Connor Brewer is fiercely loyal to his college football team. But he is also fiercely loyal to the United States of America.

So when the Millikin University football team decided to protest the national anthem by remaining inside the locker room – instead of on the sidelines - Connor was faced with a decision.

Would he join his teammates in their university-approved safe space or would he stand on the sidelines and honor America?

Connor chose to stand – alone.

One is better than none, I guess.

In this case, I’d say this one man is better than all the rest on his team...

One human being is better than a legion of demons.

If this team needs a safe spot from anything why are they playing a game were there is a chance of losing and damaging their feelings?
I would have bought them all tampons bunch of p***ies.

What’s disturbing about this story is that Millikin has a fair number of white players.

How were they sucked into this traitorous protest?

This “safe space” nonsense has to stop. This is the bubble wrap generation who want to be protected from every potential hazard, real or imagined, for fear of damaging their fragile psyches. America’s enemies are laughing at what’s become of American manhood, and sharpening their knives. Another generation of this and there won’t be enough true warriors left to defend the nation.

This has done more to break the sports spell the country is under than anything I can remember. The NFL and NCAAF numbers are tanking, and show no signs of stopping.

Which is by in large, a good thing. When the circuses stop, and the bread goes stale, the mob may notice the chains that have been placed around them.

If you are white, and don’t protest, you will be attacked and intimidated. If you stand firm, you will have no friends, no support, and no sporting career in certain circles.

The college is affiliated with the left wing, apostate PCUSA. So this shouldn’t be a surprise.

So what anthem would those players want to hear? Something by Kanye or Drake?

Everyone of those asshats should have to tour one of our national cemeteries.

The “ONE” is a true leader of men. The “team” are all followers and traitors to boot. They should be disgraced often and loudly until they get the message. One of the Communist goals is to destroy the patriotism in America as hy have done in Europe. Beware thy do not succeed. The young have made little or no sacrifice and don’t know what LIBERTY truly means. Call them scum and force them out of their safe places and tell them to GROW UP!

So what! These little fragile idiots who do the disgraceful things need to BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. UNTIL RESPECT and ADHERENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION is returned to this country, we will continue on the road to full slavery and Communism.

If you don’t allow yourself to be intimidated, their efforts ill fail. In such cases, you are your own worst enemy. Stand firm.

The communist feminists created the malignant narcissism of the soccer moms. In turn, those pampered sadistic soccer moms elected ranks of more feminists and raised feminized snowflake boys.

It was a plan, based on the corruptability of many women's peculiar obsession with their innate totalitarian power over their children, and it just played the percentages. And now there are millions of these terminally stupid, arrogant, cruel, foul-mouthed mini-me Hillary hags throughout our country and the world.

Remember the "clone wars" history in Star Wars? Soccer moms ARE those clones. Remember the heartless urakhai army in Lord of the Rings? Soccer moms ARE the urakhai. You can't train with them - they're too stupid (no matter how "intelligent" they are). You can't speak to their hearts, because they've burned their own hearts out and offered them to Hillary's feet.

We are fighting a RELIGIOUS WAR. Hillary is the GOD of the Left, that's why they obey her every whim and hold her to no standard. And that's the truth of the extraordinary level and extent of the extreme insanity that grips the Left.
