If my car has a problem, I don’t seek help from a plumber! Why do you think the public cares what a football player thinks about politics? If we want to know about football, then depending on the information we seek, we might consult with you, but even a quarterback doesn’t seek advice on playing his position from a defensive tackle! You seem to have this over inflated view of yourselves, thinking because you enjoy working on such a large scale stage, that somehow your opinion about everything matters. The NFL realizes the importance of its “image” so it has rules that specify the clothes and insignia you can wear, the language you use, and your “antics” after a touchdown or other “great” play. But somehow you and your employer don’t seem to care that you disgrace the entire nation and its 320 million people in the eyes of the world by publicly disrespecting this country, its flag, and its anthem! The taxpaying citizens of this country subsidize your plush work environments, yet you choose to use those venues to openly offend those very citizens. Do you even understand what the flag of this country means to so many of its citizens before you choose to “take a knee” in protest of this “country" during our national anthem? You may think because you are paid so much that your job is tough, but you are clueless when it comes to tough. Let me show you those whose job is really tough. You are spoiled babies who stand around and have staff squirt GatorAid in your mouths, sit in front of misting cooling fans when it’s warm, and sit on heated benches when it’s cold. That’s not “tough” that’s pampered. You think that you deserve to be paid excessively high salaries, because you play a “dangerous" game where you can incur career ending injuries. Let me show you career ending injuries! You think you that you deserve immediate medical attention and the best medical facilities and doctors when injured. Let me show you what it’s like for those who really need and deserve medical attention You think you have the right to disrespect the flag of the United States, the one our veterans fought for, risked limbs and mental stability to defend, in many cases died for. Let me show you what our flag means to them, their families, and their friends. You believe you are our heroes, when in reality you are nothing but overpaid entertainers, who exist solely for our enjoyment! Well, your current antics are neither entertaining nor enjoyable, but rather a disgrace to this country, its citizens, all our veterans and their families, and the sacrifices they have made to ensure this country remains free. You choose to openly disgrace this country in the eyes of the rest of the world, yet with all your money, still choose to live here rather than in any other country. People with even the slightest amount of “Class” will stand and respect our flag. Where does that put you? You want to see heroes… here are this countries heroes! Bravo Salutes I get dust in my eye every time I see this go back around. I’d like to extend a very heart felt thanks you to each and every one of you that reposts this. To our Warriors I can only say thank you. And to those who support and exalt our Warriors I want you to know that together we will make sure they know why they fight, their sacrifice is NOT in vain, and we will make this nation worth coming home to. THANK YOU. Fuck the NFL. Bunch of wanna be gang bangers and wife abusers. We respect and honor our Veterans. Amen, brother! The beauty and strength of a devout patriot, and his or her willingness to give their soul for an idea, for a nation, for their brothers and sisters beside them, behind them, and at home, almost ruins me with emotion every time I try to fully grasp it. They deserve everything we can give them and more.I could go off on the legions of terrible humans in the NFL, but I’d rather reflect on the real-life heroes that keep us safe, at the top of the food chain, and at the adamantine tip of the spear that is Freedom. That is beautifully said @curre-ignavus Thank You Always a reblog THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS! -- source link
