Everyone has their own point of view and these high paid athletes
got lots of attention the way they did it and you too have your point
of view and believe it or not I respect your view too.

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

I understand your point but you are comparing apples and oranges. Like
our President represents everybody even those who criticizes him, our
Flag suppose to represent everybody but some like blacks who came here
as slaves didn't get a fair deal, being lynched and discriminated. You and I
are 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 their
lives? 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.
