'That's the way I feel. Of course, I'm old fashioned, so I'm only going to say what I feel,' Chicago Bears legend says
“If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the he-- out of the country,” Ditka said in an interview with TMZ Sports. “That’s the way I feel. Of course, I’m old fashioned, so I’m only going to say what I feel."
Ditka’s comments came after New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees initially said he would never agree with anyone disrespecting the flag, but after he received a ton of backlash from fans and players across the league, Brees changed his stance on the topic. Other athletes have voiced their opinions on the subject in light of recent events, sparked in large part by George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis earlier this year.
However, Ditka said he wouldn’t change how he felt about this issue.
“You don’t protest against the flag and you don’t protest against this country who’s given you the opportunities to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen,” Ditka told TMZ. “So, I don’t want to hear all the crap.”

“”So, I don’t want to hear all the crap.””
And neither does anyone else with a working brain!
Good ol’ Mike.
Real American. God Bless Mike Ditka!
Honestly, if there was push back to these Marxist temper tantrums, watching these sports would be tolerable. But it is all anti-America all the time.
Thanks Mike but you are way too late. If you had just run for Senate there would have been no President Obama and 90% of the bullcrap we are dealing with, including BLM, would not exist. You are part owner of this for being a coward.
Aubrey Huff, President Trump and Mike Dikta explain, why they and I will not be watching any pro sports this season.
Aubrey Huff reacts to San Francisco Giants players kneeling during anthem: ‘I’m Pro America’!
‘I’m proud to not be invited to the San Francisco Giants 10 year World Series reunion’
Huff also responded to a tweet sent out by the Giants.
“#All Lives Matter,” Huff wrote.

TRUMP READY FOR LIVE SPORTS BUT SAYS HE WON’T TUNE IN IF PLAYERS KNEEL DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM: ‘GAME IS OVER FOR ME’!
PS: Kneeling is a particularly inappropriate way to protest the death of George Floyd.

Mike Ditka said he wouldn’t change how he felt about this issue:,
“You don’t protest against the flag and you don’t protest against this country who’s given you the opportunities to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen,” Ditka told TMZ. “So, I don’t want to hear all the crap.”
Carl Wollarski: Against Da Giants?
Bill Swerski: Yes, give ’em a handicap.
Carl Wollarski: Bears 18, Giants 10. And that would finally be a good game.
Pat Arnold: Yeah, it would be a good game. Mini Bears 24, Giants 14.
Todd O’Conner: What about Ditka? Would he be mini, too?
Bill Swerski: No, he would be full-grown.
Todd O’Conner: Oh, then, uh.. Mini Bears 31, Giants 7.
Carl Wollarski: Oh, hold on. Then I change mine, too. I thought it was Mini Ditka.
Bill Swerski: Okay, gentlemen, another scenario: Da Bears, they don’t make it, the plane is delayed.. and the only one who shows up is Ditka. Ditka vs. Da Giants. Okay, score, gentlemen.
Pat Arnold: Alright, after da heart attack, I gotta say Ditka 17,
Post Nine. THREE minutes, LOL!
Mike Ditka for NFL Commissioner! Perhaps he can be the Republican Presidential nominee in 2024.
I was a Bears fan back then for a reason.
Ditka on his knees apologizing to the man behind the curtain 10...9...8...7
They think he is spouting his mouth off?
Well Ditka was the Bears coach during the infamous Bears Raiders game where the players were actually trying to “kill” each other...actually..trying to hurt the others so they were carried off the field and many were.
The backup QB for the Raiders refused to go into the game, i forget who the heck it was now..Ray Guy?
To old..but he is already gonna run the ladies football league.
Ray Guy was the punter.
Ditka shoulda replaced Jack Ryan after Obama’s dirty trick exposing Ryan’s sealed divorced records.
Think how it would be today.
Go Ditka!
Yes, but he was also the third string QB. Or the last one to be called into that game. He refused to go out there.
