And the reason he was able to do this is because he lives in a country that gives him that opportunity. The same country he has no respect for. frick him. I don't care how damn good he was in basketball at LSU.

Other than a tax form turned in on time, what more do you need from him, and why would you possibly care what his opinions are as long as he follows this nation's laws?

Get over yourselves, folks. It just isn't important for someone to like this country as much as you tell us that you do while grandstanding.

He said he was incorrect in that stance. He thought he was "taking a stand" about something he disapproved of. He was educated that it was not as cut and dried and he moved on.

He was a young man with little guidance. He was groping and made a poor decision.

The dude DID harbor some disdain. He has grown. He still disagrees with some important things about this country. But, he does not have "no respect" for it and is appreciative to it.



JEEBUS!!

Dude made a young, foolish, impetuous decision. He is not the same, now.
