The co-host of FN1’s Undisputed, former NFL player Shannon Sharpe, went on a hateful rant on Friday in regards to the anti-American NFL National Anthem protests, angrily arguing that the American flag is no big deal anyway, that it’s just a “piece of cloth” that “nobody fights for” and that it’s a symbol that’s somehow “racist” to boot.
“The flag, you see, to a lot of people, symbols, patriotism but what does that symbol actually mean?” Sharpe asked stunned co-host Skip Bayless. “What does — what does – okay — you keep telling me that the flag means so much and it’s opportunity and freedom and liberty. Okay. Can you honestly say that everybody in America has freedom and liberties and opportunity?”
“No,” Bayless calmly answered.
“Well, if you can’t can’t answer that, then we have a problem and we would like to have it addressed,” Sharpe shouted.
Shannon Sharpe, a former NFL tight end who spent all but two of his 12 seasons with the Denver Broncos, continued his hateful rant against the flag:
“And stop trying to sweep it under the rug. But, see, as long as you paint that narrative, oh, it’s the Anthem, I can’t — no — anybody that does something to the Anthem — well, we know what the anthem was originally written for and who it was written by, okay? The flag, okay? We understand what the flag? What does it represent?
When did this narrative come to be that the military and the police own the flag and only them? I can go buy a flag and I can hang it up in my backyard. We need to stop this, Skip. We need to — the flag is a piece of cloth and nobody fights for a piece...”

The NFL is REALLY STEPPING IN IT!
What the honest f#%k?
Looks like Skip Bayless is fearful of his masters, too.
Wait. I thought getting rid of the confederate battle flag was going to fix all the problems.
It didn’t take the left long to expose their game plan. They are after the American flag which was the endgame all along.
Shannon and Colin can join a we hate everything even though we are rich spoiled brats club together
Skip the cuck Gutless...
Skip is a coward and has no backbone at all. He’s weak and I can’t stand him. A complete joke and weakling.
Shannon is more than welcome to list the specific ways that he’s oppressed.
This person is so hateful and uneducated he can’t think like a decent human being. He needs medical help.
He is an idiot!
I would guess his IQ is around an 80.
The concept of nations and flags were still 10,000 years of evolution away when Europeans brought it to Africa. He can only visualize tribal (team, gang) colors.
Sharpe as a marble,this one! FUSS!!
Turn off FS1 whenever this racist is on!
It seems to me a lot of prominent blacks are pushing us toward a second civil war. Do they really think 13% of the population will be the winners if that happens? These folks disrespect every black person that put on a uniform and defended this republic in some cases were wounded and others not returning home.
Typical racist black: Hates America but has no idea what they want instead. They only know how to destroy and never create.
Kinda glad to see Sharpe and ESPN double down. Bayless is a coward, though.
The few times I’ve seen Sharpe on TV, I always hated his fierce and condescending attitude.
Now he’s really provoking a fight.
IQ is a measure of ability to be intelligent. Shannon Sharp has lots of ability. Shannon however is an extremely bigoted black man with lots of hate in his mind instead of factual information. In black society, the black racist victimology game is rampant. As black people retell the lies that they are told to say the echo chamber effect causes more and more black racist bigotry. The Great Society of LBJ has caused the current problem. The only way to cure the disfunction is to cancel the war on poverty.
If flags don’t mean anything, why was the Confederate flag outlawed?
