710 Freeway billboard message asks fans to shut off the NFL, which ‘disrespects anthem, flag’
Press-Telegram ^ | Oct 9, 2017 | Andrew Edwards

An electronic message imploring fans to tune out of NFL broadcasts in response to some players’ decision to engage in protests during the National Anthem is showing up near a Long Beach area freeway.

Fred Denny, a real estate agent who works in the Long Beach area, said he spent $3,750 for a two-week contract to show his message to motorists driving past the El Paseo shopping center in South Gate. The message, headlined “Shame on the NFL,” declares “NFL disrespects our National Anthem + Flag. We turn off the TV.”

Denny’s message also shows image of the black-and-white POW/MIA flag, a wheelchair-bound veteran silhouetted against the “Stars and Stripes” and, in large letters “One Nation” and “USA.” He wants the sign to resonate with viewers who feel disrespected by protests that take place during the National Anthem.

“I just think it’s a big middle finger to the country. To the vets,” Denny, 58, of Huntington Beach said.

I believe is a lot more effective when it comes to the culture war then donating to a political candidate.

Not sure what it will cost, but I will be looking to buy billboard space in my neck of the woods to advertise the same sort of message. I’m sick of this sh*t.

I think Vice President Pence gave us a good example to follow.

Just get up and walk away...
Tune Out...

If I were to do that, I think the photos I’d show would be of war widows, with their babies, kneeling at their husbands’ graves.
