That is the question, will we have more loyalty to the NFL or to America.

Newt is an historian. He is also a pundit who is paying attention to trends

All due respect, the Anthem honors the Flag, regardless of how and where it has been played.

On any military base at retreat every day the Anthem is played as the Flag is lowered.

All outside activity must stop. Driving, walking whatever. Stops. Anyone on foot faces the Flag. Hand over heart or salute with attention

And the Flag is not the military’s Flag. It is the Nation’s Flag. Anyone disrespecting it disrespects the country.

There’s no getting around that as Newt tries to say here
