“..While this discourtesy prevails.”
The Cmmdr. is very well spoken, and gets his message across immediately.
The kneelers are too dense to get it, or think it matters.

The Saint’s management bitch slapped him back

“”We will not allow Mr. Wells’ decision and subsequent media appearances to distract our players and organization from continuing to honor and support our military and veterans. We, as an organization, have decided to move on from this sad and divisive discourse and focus our attention on supporting our military and veterans.”

Management went on to state that the team is committed to honoring, supporting and recognizing service men and women and veterans. Instead of the presentation to Wells, the team will use the time to highlight non-political military advocacy programs and encourage fans and the community to contribute to groups who support the military and veterans.”

"Saints quarterback Drew Brees sought to find middle ground and the team kneeled before the anthem rather than during it.

I'd like to hear this mindless millionaire explain exactly what it is he is kneeling about!

I think Bergdahl might be available. At least for a short time.

Like finding the middle ground between sewage and clean water or between food and poison.

Middle ground? Tooooooooo late.

“I had hoped and prayed that the NFL would outlaw these disgraceful protests and wanted to give the commissioner and the owners a fair opportunity to do so. Their failure to act is a slap in the face to all of those who have served in uniform. Men and women have fought and died for the flag that the players are disrespecting,” he said.

Thank you Cmdr. John Wells... thank you from all of us who love our country...

I’m proud of John Wells. He was my husband’s attorney representing him against a multi-million lawsuit brought by the ACLU because they claimed my husband was misleading women out of having abortions. Mr. Wells is also pro-life and got them to eventually drop the lawsuit. Hurricane Katrina also helped because most all of my husband’s notes and files were destroyed. He is a man of principle.

This is what it takes. People of good conscience to stand up and do what is right.

Good for him.

They don't get it. I don't care whether your protest is on my side or on the anti-American socialist side; if you link a protest to the National Anthem, you are in the wrong. Just before the Anthem is wrong. During the Anthem is wrong. Just after the Anthem is wrong. If they do it on their own time, I'll be offended. If they do it associated with the Anthem, I'll boycott them forever.
