    I never said the flag was oppressive.

    The flag is a beacon of hope to many, those outside & inside.

    Heck it's on the freakin' moon.

    That said, it still has fallen short.

    Comprehension is essential.

    You said the USA had "fallen short" for some. The US flag is a representation of the USA. I comprehend exactly what you said. Maybe you could stand a few lessons in comprehending and owning up to your own words.

    Well, this thread went way off the tracks. Other than the sports being on a channel shown on a TV in a truckstop lounge, this topic has run it's course and should be moved to the Politic's forum.

    Why is the first response of so many to say, if you don't like it, leave? This is still a pretty great country, I don't think anyone is saying otherwise.

    I'd liken it to owning your dream car... but the ball joints are shot, the hood is dinged up and it doesn't have rear brakes. Are you going to throw the whole car out over that or are you going to try and fix it?

    We're not leaving. Y'all can start acting better

    There's nothing political about this thread. This is a discussion about our society where is the "political" angle in this thread?

    By your own words:

    "The US flag is a representation of the USA"

    Then I stand by my statements. Read/mis-read what you may out of it. That's your "American freedom"

    Im not just jumping on the band wagon here. My true feelings are this:
    I will not support ANY NFL team as long as they behave this way & yes.... disrespect the flag of my country. Period. Yes, its my opinion. Its my right, just as its their right, its my right to choose NOT to support them. If Pilot is supporting the NFL, I will not support Pilot. Again, as it is their right, it is also my right.
    Once I learned of the actions of Kapernick, I no longer supported the 49ers. Now, that the NFL & all teams have exercised their rights, I will now exercise mine. As of last Sunday, I will no longer support the NFL, NBA, MLB or any other organization that disrespects my flag, its national anthem nor my country.
    You are welcome to your opinion.... so am I welcome to mine.

    The blinders some like to wear is truly astounding. This thread is not political but it is full of enough with socialist or communist leanings that I'm done trying to reason with those who just look for excuses to hate and be mad.

    One more win for the new-age American education system to create an answer to a problem that does not exist.
     
    jsnell and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.
