Selfish, pampered millionaires disrespecting the flag over identity politics makes my blood boil. I have always been very proud of the fact that I enlisted and served my country in Vietnam, and I love this country and the ideals that it stands for. I do not support anyone who disrespects the flag as these idiots are doing. Don't they realize that Al Qaeda and ISIS are loving every minute of this? I'm done with the NFL until this nonsense passes. I guess my short-term solution would be to stop playing the anthem at professional sports games.

I can multi-task.... I think the POTUS can to. So, I think he can handle all the issues.

Yes! when I was working, I always had in the back of my mind that I represented my employer while I was being paid.

The whole thing baffles me. They don't like Trump? Is Trump the American flag? Is Trump the Star Spangled Banner?


They want to protest racial inequality? Go to the schools, show kids on the edge that you can make it. Be a role model. Inspire them. Maybe even fund a program for smart kids who have no inspiration.

They are not winning any support for their cause, they are just inciting more hatred.
