Then, as a retired service member, I don't believe that all of them are fine with this nonsense. I think you haven't actually spoke to all of them about it and are just assuming.

Some Saints today went one step further in disrespect; they didn't take a knee, they sat out the national anthem.

You speak on the 'time' as if it were centuries ago.

9/11 was only 16 years ago.

Could you imagine a professional athlete sitting for the anthem then?

These athletes protesting would be standing no doubt in the circumstance. Most athletes have never met a camera they didn't love.

It's really a shame that a foreign attack of brutality is something that is needed to unite this country.

Flawed premise. Come back when you understand how this works.

Cajun that was sad to see. I honestly didn't think that would happen with the Saints.

Cameron Jordan seems torn - sitting, but hand over heart. They should have stayed in the locker room.

Let me see, you just called some who served and by extension me a pussy. I find that far more offensive than someone kneeling during the anthem.

Not offended.

Sitting for the anthem does nothing. It’s the cool thing to do because of the President remarks.

Now what?

I frankly don't give a fat rats arse what you find offensive. You don't care what we do I don't care what you do.

Edit: nice alter by the way.

If you have to ask why? You wouldn't understand if I told you. People fought to protect her since 1776, and I'm damn sure not going to let some pansy arse sports athlete disgrace her without letting them know about it


Yeah, those people did those things to defend the rights of what the athletes are doing. Its what the flag stands for, not some piece of cloth that they are defending.

they are pussies for not being outraged by what some football players do?

Think long and hard on that.
