NFL Anthem Policy

I love the blow back of Make America Great Again. The left reply has been this entire country is offensive and sux. The pledge, the flag, the star spangle banner, and nationalism in general is under attack.

But this fact remains true, we are the best, most dominant country in the world since the industrial revolution and that is only because of the people who built it. If you want to cry and complain, do so but you know deep down there is no better place in the world but here. Enjoy your day!!!

Let’s take it a little easy on the “we are best” thing. There are lots of important things we are not best at. Health care, education, condition of infrastructure are among many examples where we are certainly not leaders. As an example, infant mortality rates are the highest in this country of all developed nations, higher even than Cuba, for god’s sake.

So take it a little easier when you pound your chest.

Yeah I am an old Flag hugging fart but I don't get the big deal the players want to kneel let them ,kind of like a kid throwing a tantrum....they will tire of it after a while if you ignore them.



Or it is kind of like a black man protesting racial inequality until we stop ignoring it. [emoji849]

LOL. Here goes Chico writing his own narratives again. Put down the bong man.

I agree with education, which I think has been the most avoided issue in the country for 25 years. But still, higher education we still issue a ton of Student Visas per year for folks who want to come here and study. The cost is insane for higher education.

The infant mortality...I honestly had to look back but clearly remember this stat around 5 years ago because this was a favorite of folks who favor socialized healthcare. The problem with those rankings is the scope/criteria is not consistent in world wide reporting. Cuba isn't a reliable comparison...its Cuba.

I still have us ranked #1 in the world though...woot woot.

Flag huggers would go apeshit if you took away their anthem! Might as well piss in the face of the troops while you’re at it.

So, it's not your anthem?

You obviously haven’t done much traveling. Lol

so i'm confused over the whole disrespecting the flag part . . . i've always been under the impression that kneeling or genuflecting to something is one of the highest forms of respect there is . . . so how Kaepernick kneeling with his hand over his heart disrespecting anything? If you go to church and stand when you should be kneeling . . . that is disrespect, not the other way around.

I don't believe Kaepernick was kneeling and putting his hand over his heart.

Just out of curiosity do you stand with ur hand over ur heart when the song comes on your television? Do you know that it was a veteran that told Kaep instead of sitting the correct thing to do is kneel if you are protesting? Lastly and most importantly do u know that Kaep is in no way protesting our flag, our military, or some song the NFL has been playing before games for like ten years? This is all some spin that donny trump (who ducked fighting for his country more than once ) is spouting out of his pie hole to rile up his base for political purposes.

Facts do speak for themselves, and there is no arguing that we are dead last among developed countries in infant mortality. Your reply about inconsistent reporting is pure made up BS, sorry. And yes, even lowly Cuba has better statistics here, primarily because they have more consistent free post natal care. We have a shameful record on health care in general, but it’s truly horrific when our poor have to withhold needed medical treatment from our kids for financial reasons.

And that’s all I have to say about that...
