Get woke go broke

I've been to so many sporting events where fans and athletes don't even do that. I've seen politicians not put their hands over their heart. Just feel like people are reaching and trying to dig up controversy with this. Or at least be consistent and call it out everywhere, not just the USWNT.
It's especially pitiful when a politician doesn't do it.

I am on your side, I just know from watching on tv and live most people, including players/athletes, don’t sing the anthem. It’s unfathomable that people can be against our country in which they’ve been given so much. Not just pointing to these female athletes, but other groups and people seem to think they are owed something and everything must be equal which isn’t and never will be the case.
I take it as being young and dumb for the most part. How they were raised in many cases. I was raised to be racist...99% of us were where we live. It actually is incredible that 99% of us changed as time passed...even the people who were teaching us to be that way. I think this form of not being proud of our Country comes from the parents. There is ZERO chance it would happen in our house.

In this instance, I probably agree with you. With the people who purposely disrespect our flag and Country...I could not disagree with you more.

I think we may have some differing viewpoints on what disrespecting the country and flag looks like. I do think for the most part we're on the same page, I think some antics and commentary goes too far.

Agreed...and what AMAZES me I have never read one of your football posts that I did not hit the like button. Maybe there is hope! LOL

I'm not super familiar with this case but from what little I've seen, it seems like a reach.

I think everyone should cross their heart but if you're willing to stand up, shut up and not be a distraction, I can live with it.

You know, grew up in NYC watching Mets games (family were Dodgers fans) and we ALWAYS stood and ALWAYS put hand over heart. All of us. As young kids, no exception.

Played HS baseball in Tampa. No exception.

Now? It is sad and agree with Bama, Captain, etc.

I think a person does not have to show outward love for America. Having this feeling, you are no better than the communists/fascists/democrats. BUT...I also believe people that are representing our Country, and in public light should not make ANY political statements on our dime. Even if it is not on our dime...that is not the place. And for athletes/hollywood go ahead.....I just will never support you in any way. If I owned a team, I would fire someone on the spot for doing so.

Lol, Clay Travis? Who cares what he thinks. Dude has been lame for years. He used to make fun of the same people who now love him, classic. Just another hustler, not mad at him though, I recognize his hustle.
