The NFL is preparing to end the use of military honor guards to present the American flag ahead of the national anthem, according to reports.
A league source claims that the policy benching military, federal, and police guards is part of its COVID-19 response, according to Front Office Sports.

It appears that there will be no flags on the field and the flag will only appear on electronic scoreboards during the playing of the national anthem, at least for the beginning of the season.

A total, deliberate insult to the millions of patriots who used to support the disloyal abomination the NFL has become.

NFL (Not For Long) is tone deaf. The country is not changing. This uproar is temporary.

NFL, just stop pretending that you care about the country and drop the anthem entirely. Anymore it is just an excuse to pose and insult us. The anthem would be better off without you.

I don’t watch sports. Never have. SO, NFL you can be dropped and I would never miss it.

Well, it saves them from having to get depressed over the various stupid social protesting that is done during that time.
Folks, the NFL needs to die a quick death. Defund them at all costs.

Corporate boards and CEOs across the nation are slavishly obeying the dictates of the “woke” DNC Politburo. It’s disgusting!

NFL needs the N stripped and to die. It’s trash.

C’mon, NFL. Just cut to the chase. Start burning the flag before each game.

But of course. It offends the radical revolutionary types, to have any such ceremonies for the flag.
I think it’s odd, that these liberal types are so concerned about offending the radicals, but do not have any concern if they offend the rest of us with their actions.

Never watching another NFL game, even my (formerly favorite team) Seahawks. They can collectively drop into a deep, dark pit.

Seriously. True. Go back to Africa if you’re so upset your ancient relatives were brought here.
They should be kissing the ground everyday and honoring the men and women who defend them. They are the lucky ones that live in America. AND, the Effers are the elite, top 1% to boot.
THEY all make me sick. STOP supporting these turds by going to games or watching on TV. GET a better hobby.
To: libstripper
Just another circuit of the NFL circling the bowl. Pretty soon, they’ll finish circling and sink, pandering to a bunch of ill educated idiots.

Well, they didn’t used to do this.
And now, it won’t be a fake insincere presentation as we knew at least since 2016 season. I’ve always thought it was ironic.

Wuhan Flu taught us that we can all get along quite nicely without sports. And we will.
