American Legion Outraged After NFL Players Take a Knee During Anthem on National Gold Star Mothers Day.
They could have at least picked another day.

I looked around my Facebook this morning and it seemed like darn near 100 percent of people are boycotting the league, even people who I know are lifelong fans of a certain 5 time Super Bowl Champion team. They’re tired of seeing people making millions of dollars taking a knee during our national anthem when we still have men and women fighting overseas. I’ll admit I still watch Football, but I won’t watch ESPN anymore because on the rare occasion they discuss sports they usually have hot takes that make no sense and seem to have been made for just drawing attention.
Let me start with one thing that I keep reading which is inarguably false. The protest of the National Anthem has absolutely nothing to do with the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law….abridging the Freedom of Speech.” People kneeling has nothing to do with that, as Congress has taken no position on it. If anything it is employer/employee law. “Free Speech” seems to be a catchall nowadays, but that really isn’t what this is. The players kneeling are doing it to draw attention to an issue that they think is underappreciated. You turning the TV off is your right. And it’s a right that hundreds and thousands are engaging in…
…To be honest, it wasn’t so much the protest yesterday that bothered me, it was the fact that it happened on Gold Star Mothers Day.
Each year I visit the grave of a young man from Lovettsville, Virginia named Stephan. Here’s a video that talks about the last minutes of his life. It’s long, but stick with it, and hear about Stephan Mace. (Fast forward to 6 minutes 10 seconds if you are short on time.)

Wow. If the President knew that, it was an incredibly vicious baited trap on his part.

NFL Network has lost their fricking minds. Hearing them speak about this is mind blowing. It's like they don't know who their own fan base is.

‘Communism Will Win’: U.S. Army Infantry Officer Posts Message In Support of Kaepernick
His Twitter
quote:
Under the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick, he tweeted an image of himself raising the left clenched-fist of solidarity, support and resistance as well as the message, “Communism Will Win” taped inside of his West Point uniform cap. Also visible in the photograph is Rapone’s Combat Infantryman Badge–meaning he has fought in active ground combat.
Rapone followed up his initial post with retweeted images of other #VeteransForKaepernick in their combat uniforms.
LawNewz verified the legitimacy of the photograph with Rapone himself. He is currently in the field until Friday

Somebody needs to start a NCAA petition to remove "All American" titles from players that are kneeling for the Anthem. Von Miller, A'Shawn, Eric Reid, etc..

Will be fun to hear the left say this doesn't matter with how much they crushed Trump over the Gold Star stuff during the election.
