Here is some words of wisdom my Grandfather once said...........Ba ck in 1984 when the Detroit Tigers win the World Series , 2nd baseman Lou Whitaker and out fielder Larry Herndon wouldn't stand for the national anthem because they both proclaimed to be Jehovas Witnesses and it was against that religion to acknowledge any type of holidays , birthdays or any anthems that praised our nation.......... Grandad said something to me I never forgot. He said "if it weren't for what the National Anthem stands for , those guys would still be picking cotton down in Georgia "! A true genius of a statement .....
Just curious how many of you stand during national anthem at home when watching the games on tv? I dont think ive ever seen anyone stand during national anthem at sports bars.
. You're DEFINATELY missing the point , these lowlife idiots are doing this nonsense in open public , not respecting our countries National Anthem is not only Un American , it's an act of disloyalty and disrespect. Let me ask you this, would you allow your children to sit during the NA? If you would , then I would call you a modern day Benadict Arnold .
The NFL said there isn't any rule in their book that says a player has to stand for the national anthem. Times are changing. Like I posted on plop so many times before, just cause your in the military doesn't make you special. The military like anything else is a job. If those to enlist don't like it quit just as an accountant would quit his job if he don't like it. That black dude who isn't even a starting QB by the way does t wanna stand and nobody even took a second look and paid him any attention, he's be gone in two games and no teams would pick him up. But because the stupid news media make a big deal out of some QB who most people never heard of because he sucks, he gets the attention he was looking for to revive his career. They guy isn't anything. Not a good athlete, not s good QB, not s hood person. I'll bet anyone within five years he will have been arrested on some charge. Now this goofy looking fellow is one person who should have an example made out of and have to face our black retired military fighters and they'll tell his stupid ass how much black lives matter. It sounded like the other night the people of San Francisco want him gone. They have enough problems with the whole gay rights stuff going on there. He's a bad apple a d just not very good at what he does. Gabbert the real starting QB showed his ass what it's all about. Lol dummy
NFL just announced players wearing socks supporting 9-11 will be fined.About a half dozen fined.Nothing to those disrespecting the Flag and Country.
