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:
You mean disrespect don’t you
how dare we offend illegals, islamists and american haters with our flag
Our military fight for the stars and stripes and what it represents. Our veterans in all associations start their meetings with a Pledge of Allegiance in front of our flag. WTF is the problem with people who are so willing to disrespect our flag? Even if they themselves did not serve America in uniform, their grandparent, uncle, aunt, or other relative loved this flag enough to put on a uniform and defend it. I want to hear from them. If you have the guts, speak NOW.
Is this still America???
Get rid of this anti American pig.
Out of respect for what? Maybe is should move on to something else.
Where was this at?
Who is the flag offending, illegal immigrants or Muslims. Illegal are already breaking the laws, enforce the laws. Muslims everything American offends them.
Introduce me to this “Principal” I’ll set him straight!
that asswipe principal should be tarred and feathered and run out of town…WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
