CHARDON, Ohio -- The Geauga County Sheriff on Tuesday barred any of his deputies from working off-duty security at future Cleveland Browns games because of their protest during the national anthem.
Sheriff Scott A. Hildenbrand in a memo to his employees posted on Facebook said the Browns protest, which came in response to President Donald Trump's statements that NFL players who kneel during the national anthem should be fired, was "disrespectful" to veterans and police officers alike.
"I'm concerned when the main act stands in front of the crowd, before the game even starts, and commits a blatant disrespectful act towards our flag, our Country, our Veterans and our first responders," Hildenbrand's memo said. "If they do not have respect for us and our Country only bad things will come of that. We will not be a part of these activities."

Well. the NFL could easily recruit the Black Panthers to provide security for their games.

Trump should not allow any uniformed servicemen to participate in NFL ceremonies and no more flyovers.

I've never even visited this area and it's probably high time I considered doing just that but when doing genealogy on my family tree, I find that a good sized chunk of my family were born and lived in this area for a long time!
Good to know the area is still populated by great American patriots!

You think that Jones realizes that every one will lose money.
His players are mostly ghetto and want to join the protests, his threat to fire any player that did that backfired. The players called his bluff, he won’t fire his entire team and the players know it.
You really think he wants to kill his cash cow?

I think instead of flyovers, our pilots should do fly arounds. In formation, fly up to the stadium, just before the stadium, in formation break and fly around the stadium, then reform.
