A former Jacksonville Jaguars fan wants everyone to know how he feels about the NFLs recent anthem protests.
Terry Smiley hired a plane to fly a banner reading "Be American. Boycott the Jags and the NFL," over Everbank Field. The banner was in the air for nearly two hours during Sundays game.
Smiley says he's fed up with the players, and the league.
Do you believe in your country? he asked. Do you believe in the Star Spangled Banner? If you don't stand up for it now, you won't have it in the future."
A recent FOX News poll found 55 percent of voters see kneeling during the national anthem as an inappropriate form of protest.
Team owners are meeting this week in New York. They plan to discuss whether to change the league's policy to require players to stand during the national anthem -- a rule change that would not require player approval.
A decision is expected before the meeting wraps up on Wednesday.
Deal me in.
Fly it over Arrowhead in honor of Marcus Peters and Chris Conley.
It fits , 30 letters
This guy in his outward expression of patriotism is helping Make America Great Again. May God bless him.
The nfl has got the FAA to issue TFR’s over their games. You can only fly over the their stadiums until 1 hour before the game and 1 hour after the game. How do I know? The eFFFen chargers moved into the air space around Compton Airport. Effnnn nfl.
I’ll go with that.
Well heck, it does not have to be at game does it?
(I bet that even this would get the crowd standing and cheering!)
