“Ragged Old Flag” Super Bowl 2020 Spot Under Fire: “A Slap in the Face” to Colin Kaepernick

In what may be a Super Bowl record, the NFL managed to make viewers angry with 30 minutes to go before the Super Bowl 2020 kickoff with a new commercial set to Johnny Cash’s “Ragged Old Flag.” The three-minute ad followed Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter and other members of the military as they reflected on their service, but not everyone came away with good vibes. While the NFL’s “Ragged Old Flag” ad didn’t specifically mention Colin Kaepernick, many viewers felt that the commercial was a way of throwing some not-so-subtle shade at the former San Francisco 49er. As one viewer put it, “That ragged old flag bit was the stinkiest propaganda piece I’ve ever seen.”

I thought it was great.

Colon klaperdick was a slap at the entire USA. If football is to survive they need to make up with Veterans and “we the people” of the USA.

I thought that might be her. Thanks!

Piss off, SJW - the NFL has decided it doesn't want you, and I've decided the same.

The NFL was definitely doing damage control post Kapernick. ?Very much a pro-flag, pro-america theme throughout everything...which was great because it made Bloombergs ad look like a whine about America.

He deserves a boot in his butt.

And they were doing a pretty decent job of it too.

Until they got to halftime, which was basically a stripper-bar show in support of Hispanic illegals.

That’s not a shock.

I don’t care what those 2 do though.

They’re in their own make believe world.

As long as Trump wins again and we get back the house, let them live there.

Didn’t see any of it. Read this morning about J.Lo rubbing her crotch & doing a stripper act. Then read that her underage daughter was part of this vulgarity.
The NFL considers this appriopriate in prime time?
SMH.

She was George Halas’s daughter, Virginia Halas McCaskey.
The family still owns the Chicago Bears

[Hojczyk]

her daughter should have done the show

[WASCWatch]

Has nothing to do with Kaepernick; no one gives a shit about Kaepernick.

It is more about the rise in Patriotism under Trump.

NFL trying to downplay Kreperdink because the new XFL may upset their gravy train.

[Buckeye McFrog]

the new XFL may upset their gravy train.

Doubtful. Their top star appears to be Dallas quarterback Landry Jones. A guy who could not even hang onto a spot on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster in a year when they were scraping the bottom of the barrel on quarterbacks.

I'll watch, but they won't be a serious threat to the NFL anytime soon.

[redangus]

Thanks that was my guess

[redangus]

Thanks

[redangus]

I kind if guessed that thanks for the confirmation

[numberonepal]

So what?

Shoulda been a kick in the nads.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out how:

a) ANYONE would be offended by this beautiful and heartfelt tribute to our great American Flag.

b) there could be a single person out there that thinks this was a “slap” to Kapernick. SERIOUSLY?

Damn SJW liberals are getting REALLY annoying. We can’t even have a nice, patriotic segment about our FLAG without them being triggered about something?

Time for them to leave (the country) if they hate it so much.
