It’s amazing, right?

Personally, I’m a Steelers girl, and I’ll never leave my boys of steel.

Trump fans, you’ve lost this battle. Everyone knows the kneeling is a sign of respect, and our service members recognize the protest for what it is.

BTW, I just turned on the TV, the stadiums are packed. I guess the boycott kinda fizzled out, huh ?

I'm a veteran. Boycott if you must, but it is an insult to me and all who served in the defense of free speech.

Personally, I think all protests and boycotts are kind of silly. But just because I think they are silly, doesn't mean other people have no rights doing it.

There is really no reason to argue back and forth.

There are just way too many angry people in this world. For example, the people who left angry rep message without a name? lol why bother doing it?

This country is going crazy. Relax, and chill already.

Plus, The military population of the United States, active, reserve, and veteran, is not a monolithic entity. There are Republicans, and Democrats, and those of them who think that both parties suck equally. There are Conservatives, Liberals , Libertarians, and those who don’t care about that either. To say that EVERY Marine, veteran, and soldier has the exact same opinion about anything would be a gross exaggeration and oversimplification. Except chow and weekend duty. lol

Everybody agrees that the food in the chow hall sucks, and having weekend duty sucks more. Not every Marine or soldier or airman or sailor has the same opinion about the NFL Flag controversy.

Honor our military, some of whom come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.
The Cowboys don't play that crap.
7:30pm CST kick off.

These bums and the feckless eunuchs in the NFL leadership have ruined what was once a great sport devoid of politics and anti-American punks.

Good for you, and life goes on.
