NEW ORLEANS – A retired Navy officer set to be honored at a Saints game Sunday declined the award, citing controversy over the National Anthem at football games.
Former Commander John Wells, a disabled veteran and Executive Director of Military Veterans Advocacy, said in a statement released Thursday he could not accept the Peoples Health Champion Award while protests are continuing at NFL games."Although I am touched and honored to be selected for such an award, the ongoing controversy with NFL players' disrespect for the national flag forces me to decline to participate in the presentation," Wells wrote to executives at Peoples Health and the New Orleans Saints organization according to a release. "I am unable, in good conscience, to enter an NFL stadium while this discourtesy prevails. Since this award is tainted with the dishonorable actions of the NFL and its players, I cannot accept it.”
Wells said he hoped the NFL would outlaw the protests.LINK

they have every right to do what they are doing until said ownership steps in (private org). now, that also means everyone has the right to protest the NFL and said protestors.
cuts both ways.

Sorry, while i give him credit for sticking to his guns, i think it's stupid.
Kneeling, facing the flag, with helmet off, is not a big disrespect for the flag. You conservatives need to stop, half of you tards keep ur hats on, or are chugging a beer while it's being played, so don't give me this High morals shite about kneeling.
You kneel to Royalty, You kneel in respect when some one is hurt, and you kneel to be knighted.
Kneeling, with helmet on, and back to the flag is disrespectful. This is not.

So he's mad about the player's attention whoring and decides he wants to do some attention whoring of his own? Why release a statement? Were a lot of people on the edge of their seats wondering what he was gonna do? Thanks for your service and all but if you don't want the award just don't accept it. You don't have to send out a press release.

Ah, so they're kneeling out of respect for the anthem? I thought it was a protest but now you're saying they're just trying to show extra respect so I don't know anymore.
