You know I think many have missed the point you have made here. Taking a knee before the national anthem begins and then standing during the national anthem are actually cowardly moves. Also cowardly are the moves by the teams who stayed in the tunnel rather than on the field during the playing of the national anthem. Those people were simply afraid to take a stand so they straddled the fence as it were.

I have also noticed that the teams who have players that are doing these things are bending over backwards and twisting themselves into pretzels to claim that they are not unpatriotic and they are not showing disrespect for the Armed Forces. This tells me that they are well aware of what the great majority of people in this country feel about what they are doing and they are very worried about it.

They should have all been fired on day one. All of them.

If I worked at Walmart and stood up in on a counter and started spouting “HILLARY CLINTON SHOULD BE IN JAIL NOW!” I’d be fired - and rightfully so.

You don’t have the right of “freedom of speech” to disrupt someone’s business (not to mention cost them money) just because you feel inclined to “make a statement.”

It’s absolutely disgusting - and just the next step in the endless war the left has begun on us because, like little children, they simply will not accept that they (gasp!) actually lost an election.
