This has been in the news lately because of Colin
Kaepernick, the San Francisco
49ers quarterback, but this has gone on before.
Is anyone else out there disgusted by this? I have no respect for this man! I really don’t care what your excuse is for
acting this way. These athletes in the
news lately make millions of dollars a year to play ball, or other sports. Why are they so disrespectful? Where else do they think they can live and make
that kind of money? This sort of thing
makes me furious! If they don’t like the
way things are here in America,
then move. They would be fired so fast
it would make their head swim, if I had anything to say about it. I think wages for athletes are ridiculous
anyway.
I would think these unhappy people can find another way to
say they don’t approve of the police, or whatever else it is they’re
protesting. We have to remember sports
figures are role models for some kids and this attitude sends the wrong message
to young people who have impressionable minds.
There are people living in poverty all across this great
country and I bet they still stand for the National Anthem because they may be
poor but they still have decency and respect.

These athletes need to be fired right now, or at least
suspended until they can act like Americans.
Until something serious is done, we’ll see a lot more of this in the
future. And no, I don’t think this has
anything to do with exercising free speech and the first amendment. You can still have your say, but don’t be
disrespectful of the country that has provided you and your family with a nice
living and one many of us will never have.
That’s my two cents.
What do you have to say?
