Man I'd be lying if I didn't say I love watching those imbecile white folks burn their own Jerseys over this. My uncle served blah blah blah. I don't care.
I serve, right now, and from this servicemen's perspective, I don't feel the least bit slighted because I'm cognizant enough to know that their protest has nothing to do with the flag. As in at all. But that is the other's invoking that into the narrative. Well, here's a narrative that they don't think about, no one gave a damn prior to I believe 09 when the DoD paid the NFL millions to prominently display for recruiting numbers. Oh, one more thing, if people are tight about players kneeling or stretching during the National Anthem, then I invite them to any military installation across the world where everyday at 0800 am sharp the National Anthem (we call it "Colors") is played and whatever activity we are doing outside is mandated to come to a screeching halt so we can salute, they would be dismayed by the number of Sailors I have to reprimand for running to get inside a building so they don't have to stand with a Salute for a minute and some change. But the football players are disrespectful. Ok. Patriots.
