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:
Close that school!!!
This liberal should be fired like yesterday!

Another example of the MORON & IDIOTS running and teaching in our school systems
This “Principal” needs to be FIRED!!!
When family and ancestors fought for freedom and sacrificed so much for it,but people are not allowed to wave the flag representing their sacrifice, that’s disrespectful.
JUST WHAT WE NEED, A PRINCIPLE WITH NO PRINCIPLES !
P.S. Read the First Amendment all students (and parents) at each game. Bring your flags with you. Bring your military family and friends there. Sing the National Anthem. Say the Pledge of Allegiance as a military personnel holds the flag as it waves.
