    Nah...you and your ignorant ilk are a bunch of hypocrites. It's ok for a bunch of KKK marching in the street spreading hatred, but kneeling for the flag??? Oh My God the world is coming end. Not only that, you and your ignorant ilks can't be bother to get up your collective asses in restaurants, in bars, in your own homes, when the flag ceremony and national anthem comes on the TV. Informed and educated you are not. Then you and your ilks double down by support an immature fool of a President who injected himself into this discussion even though he swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. You and your hypocrite ilks can look in the mirror and lecture values and ideals to yourself.

    Yes. Absolute bullshit.

    1) The teacher signed an agreement with the school when he took that job stating that he was not allowed to organize prayers with his students. He viloated the terms of his contract, that is why he was fired.

    2) Those students were suspended for pulling a prank. NOT for praying.

    What? You thinkbelieve that posters will just look at the still picture and not select play?

    So Don is 1/2 of a second behind Melania putting his hand over his heart.

    But you and your ilk would rather lie about it.

    As usual.

    I don't honor Mexican customs, or Muslim customs.

    Your ruinous and worthless generalizations, and right wing ideology are duly noted.

    This entire debacle is such waste of time. Millions of americans literally lost everything in Irma and Harvey and morons are arguing over a national anthem being played at non-national sporting events.

    Way to cheapen the entire thing.

    You people make me sick.

    Ever see anyone with even the tiniest degree of self respect spend Hours in traffic to watch cars going endlessly around in a circle in the hope of seeing a crash.

    I do so enjoy how all these NASCAR fans claim to have a love of patriotism while also bearing Confederate flags, many times at the race.

    I see. But the football players don't have the same 1st Amendment right, right?

    LOL, it is OK for the NFL players to diss the union but not southerners that were Americans whether you like it or not.

    Sure they do, and they should be fired for violating their contracts.

    Right, because contracts don't mean anything to the virtue signalling left nor do many other laws.

    They mean everything. Nothing in their contracts prevents them from doing this. And not a single one has been fired

    Their contracts specify what they do during the anthem. They are in violation of their contracts.

    The players aren't dissing the union, they aren't protesting the flag, they aren't protesting the Anthem, and they are protesting veterans; that is all just straw men thrown out by racists trying to bury the lede of the reasons that they are protesting.
