Well, after reading and hearing that for many this IS about race, it is a darn good thing that those Tea Party members that burnt and buried the American flag and flew it upside down were white or those elected officials who ran or run under the Tea Party banner would never get elected, if still in this country.

My bottom line is that I do not like the kneeling during the anthem and never did, however I wonder if the next group will be the concession folks, etc. In my opinion this would have run its course except for the political intrusion. There is REAL patriotism and phony forced patriotism. This issue, to me seems very forced. Many people have done things to protest whatever, which I thought was our right, but gotta stay up with the changes I suppose.

But it happened and the NFL has the right to tell its employees what to do, but I am afraid this is going to make it worse, but maybe that was the idea ?
