Stan, It is not about free speech. It is about ignorance, arrogance, and
disrespect. JS

I understand your point but you are comparing apples and oranges. Likeour
President represents everybody even those who criticizes him, ourFlag suppose
to represent everybody but some like blacks who came hereas slaves didn't get a
fair deal, being lynched and discriminated. You and Iare not black and these
high paid athletes are in a way heroic risking ridicule and their careers. Some
of those dead heroes draped with our flag might even approve of their free
speech actions and why they gave up theirlives? Ain't democracy great?

Ret Marine Col. Jeffery Powers wrote to the NFL commissioners the following;
Commissioner,I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl
and Giants Stadium. I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with
a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned
home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last
conversation with one of them, Sgt Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants
were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it. Many friends, Marines,
and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years
returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins. Now I watch
multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a
game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially
spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done
something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing
they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers
were! You are complicit in this! You’ll fine players for large and small
infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the
fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st
Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if
they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?I observed a player
getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess
that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem.
Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot
in the end zone? Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You
fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the
sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so
deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game!
You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and
disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that
rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed
this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud
those who have not. Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear
body armor and carry rifles. They make minimum wage and spend months and years
away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do
it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch
their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced.
They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms. Some wear
blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire
helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11,
hundreds vanished. They are the heroes. I hope that your high paid protesting
pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what
you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take
those worms with you! Time to change the channel.Powers originally sent his
letter to former Florida congressman Allen West (one of America's best). West
then posted the letter to his news website.As of last week, at least 18 NFL
player had protested the anthem by either kneeling during the anthem or raising
their fists, according to USA Today Sports.
