I Stand Up For The American Flag

I Stand Up For The American Flag

Many of you are unaware that a football Quarterback has decided to stop standing up for the American flag during the pre-game National Anthem. His reasoning is that he can't support a United States flag until America stops being racist.   

I agree there is a problem with racism in America and we need to work harder to change the minds and the actions of those few. However, I refuse to believe the over 250 million people in America are racist. My America is a great Country. Millions have died to protect our freedom. Millions stand up today for racial change.

However, this Quarterback's position is that America is rotten to the core. What he refuses to realize is that America is just one of a few Countries that give him the freedom of speech to state his position publicly. There are over ten Countries in the world that would lock him up or something even worse for speaking out.

I totally agree to verbally attack the racists. I totally disagree to verbally attack America because there are racists in this great Country. His actions do nothing to change the situation. We Americans know racism exists and speak-out against it. Actions are being taken even if it's not happening as fast as we all would like

Sooo, my question is, would he fight for the freedoms America gives him? If not, why doesn't he give his American dream of playing football and move to another Country? OOOH, I know the reason, where the hell would he go that's better than this?

I say, keep the many, many millions of dollars the National Football League has given you, continue to be vocal against racism, but:

Never Stop Loving This Wonderful America And Stand Up For The American Flag
