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.

Respect to what? Disrespect for America fire him!!!!
OBAMAS FAULT
Isn’t it about time we stopped fretting about offending the refugees and make them assimilate or leave? Why should we change our standards to suit these ingrates who are flooding our country, thanks to our president.
You have to be “dumbass” of the year to ban your own flag so as not to offend people who do not belong here.
“Respect” for what? You don’t want or need all those ‘In God We Trust’ greenbacks either, that come from the taxpayers that fund your idiotic administrative antics!
Remove this principle
This principal should be fired and forced to cede his pension to a veteran’s charity.
My flag will stay up. Never forget the men and women who fought for your freedom!!!
“Respect” for who? Certainly not Americans!
Out of respect of what?
