This was not a good week for patriotism at football games.
Most notably, 49er backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick became one of the most hated men in America after he refused to stand during the national anthem before one of his team’s preseason games. His boycott may not have gone over well, but he does have a few defenders on his side — and imitators, too.
Football fans outside of the NFL are being just as disrespectful to our country and flag, even at American high schools.
Travelers Rest High School in Travelers Rest, SC, banned the American flag from its football games altogether this week. They say they’re doing it out of “respect,” but the appearance is anything but. It looks like just another attack on the American way of life from liberals who are too afraid to offend to stand up for their own country.
See why Travelers Rest High School banned the flag in the report on the next page:
Respect for who??? That is stupid!! Never be ashamed of the flag!
People ought to ignore his stupid$#%&!@* crowd the bleachers with American Flags, and petition the school board to remove that clown.
where are the parents of the kids. this is a public school. the principle isn’t the rule maker the parents are.
God bless America!!!! Fly the flag proudly!!
Principal sets a poor example for American Values!
Another ignorant liberal with more respect for their agenda than for America. DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, CLINTON’S FOR PRISON 2016
I always throught SC. was a great state haveing visited it many times . I was wrong. First their state flag was taken down from their state house by a bunch of liberals, now banning the AMERICAN FLAG from sporting events Great work SC.
Time to get rid of that principal! He belongs in some other country…not America.
Oh yes
That would be great
