Perhaps 90% pf the players in the NFL are good decent human beings, and wold be exemplary people in any other walk of life.
But there is a small minority that feels like they have been badly wronged in some manner or another, and they have chosen to express that slight to their dignity by disrespecting the national anthem, the US Flag, and the fans who whole-heartedly support all that the Stars and Stripes stands for. When asked just WHY they show such disrespect, doubling down on it, their claim is that they a) hate Trump; b) hate the law enforcement officers all over America; or c) just hate Whitey and “white supremacy” in general. Or maybe all three.
But the flag and the anthem exist apart from these “concerns”, though they may be tied up most intricately with those same “concerns”. Disrespect to the US Flag, or the national anthem, is totally inappropriate, and should be stopped immediately, with a humble and contrite apology to the rest of the NFL fan base, or what there is left of it.
I’ve seen a couple of these feel good stories to try to offset this nfl outrage.
Not good enough. Sh*t-can the nfl.
These do-gooders can find other jobs.
