You can sit down or get on your knees to protest the national anthem, but God forbid an army vet stand to honor our nation.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is going after one of his players, Afghan war veteran, Alejandro Villanueva for being proud of the country he risked his life to protect.
The majority of the Steelers decided during a team meeting to hide in their locker room like cowards instead of stepping to the sidelines (as NFL league rules require) for the playing of the national anthem.
One man refused to be a sheep and play the liberal hashtag activism game for a cause they can’t even clearly define because let’s be honest – alleged police brutality hasn’t changed one lick since Trump started his successful presidential campaign.
And unlike the guy who started this whole controversy, Colin Kaepernick’s, whose activism consists of posting pictures of cops depicted as pigs to his social media accounts and dropping to his knees, Villanueva knows the cost of freedom of speech and the protection thereof. As such Villanueva is one of their targets.
Continue to the next page to hear what Steelers coach Mike Tomlin had to say about Alejandro Villanueva having the audacity to be proud of his country, and the men fighting to keep multi-millionaire meathead athletes like Kaepernick safe at night.
It is, and he is!
Free speech is only for liberals. The liberals went wild and destroyed Tim Tebow’s career for kneeling for God. And you know the coach for Pitt forced the vet to apologize. He was not allowed free speech, because is was conservative to honor the flag of America.
So I’m gonna just post this right here and be done with it all… please share and give your opinion if you like it, if not, then don’t be a troll cause I’m not in a trolling mood right now.
It was always my biggest pet peeve, when people point out problems without a solution, so here I go.
The current media fiasco that is going on, wether or not athletes are required to stand for the National Anthem vs should their freedom of speech be muted? The way President Trump lashed out at them and the response since has only been a mockery of both the NFL and the Presidency, and I don’t know about you, but I think it’s safe to assume, being a Texan and all, we love or football and our country and it’s pissing me off.
So what I want to propose, is that the broadcast companies, don’t broadcast the National Anthem from sporting events anymore… and I think it would be amazing if instead of showing the National Anthem to all the TV viewers, who lets face it, are half the time sitting down or grabbing more refreshments and beer, aren’t respecting the flag or the Anthem either… BUT if a program were developed that any broadcast time of a sporting event should require commercial airspace to fill the playing of the National Anthem and leave that portion of the game as a “In house” experience for the fans that go to actually see the game, and all monies raised during ad coverage for the National Anthem, could then be set up to be donated to local veteran charity groups…
Actually helping those who have sacrificed and gave it their all for this country, is how I think we should show respect for the actual meaning of our Anthem and Flag at sporting arenas… This also allows the players to kneel if they want… chances are, if it’s a home game and they are kneeling, there is probably a big enough population, that support both the agenda behind those kneeling and the actual team itself, if not, the owners are going to have to be more like Jerry Jones and require it or be fired… but I think that gets in to a slippery slope where people’s ability to speak freely will be perceived as being muted and that can open a whole new can of worms. Let the players do their thing and the local community will respond however they respond, but for the national audience, their viewing will create an incentive for advertisers and all of that money can be used to help out those in need… hell maybe it could even go to fixing the VA Hospitals and Staff so that veterans aren’t dying waiting for the right healthcare… It won’t cost the NFL a dime, it won’t cost the Broadcast companies a dime… it will only give a company the honor of having their ad played during the National Anthem and the monies collected for that ad could be donated to help veterans… this would reduce the need for government overhead on the VA Healthcare system and go a long way to balancing a budget, especially with those Super-Bowl Ad prices for :30 second commercials…
So I guess I am sharing this with you, so that you all can help me motivate the right people to get the ball rolling and resolve this racially divisive issue before it gets out of hand… because I believe it threatens the life’s of our law enforcement to encourage a group of people to stand up and resist and that is how it is all coming across to me. If we can get that off tv, and out of the media, hell people will forget about it and Veterans can actually be honored by the playing of the National Anthem at EVERY sporting event. And like I pointed out, who is it really costing? The Advertiser, who was willing to pay for the air time anyways!!! So it truly is a win win situation when everyone is looking at it like it’s a zero sum, because if you allow the protests to continue, you p**s off all the Americans that served this country and actually embolden it and encourage it, but if you prevent them from protesting then you’re only throwing gas on a fire… by removing the stage and giving back to those who sacrificed, and we can all get what we want.
If you would like to contact the Commissioners office and support this idea, please give them a call and let them know that you support my idea. I have already Contacted Mr. Goodell and they have been briefed on my proposal… so let’s make them painfully aware of how bad these distasteful outings are and what we want done to resolve it… because ultimately we the people control the money flow going into the NFL and I love the game too much to watch it be destroyed over an issue like this…
Be the one that makes this idea and program go viral!!!
NFL Commissioner’s Office number: 212-450-2027
Hell I want to see every sporting event observe this practice and maybe we can actually support those who allowed us to live so free… cause we all know the VA hasn’t done$#%&!@*because they never have the funding…
