    Then people look at this great flag askance, when so many ********s use it as their symbol. Same with the bible. Same with the constitution. They have made something beautiful ugly. You will never see more flags then at a Nazi, KKK, white supremacists and Republican rally's , all symbols of what is ugly and what is the matter with this country.

    That is what happens when people stop respecting ideologies and start worshipping demagogues. Those extremists groups have always been around, but they lurked in the shadows and gathered with like-minded, but Trump has given them a license to go public and in your face.

    Ya, nothing like an American flag or a bible to piss off a malcontent. Now a burning Federal courthouse.... that is a different matter altogether.

    Sorry, I stopped taking you seriously when you said that having a flag at a republican rally was something ugly.

    As to the rest, they are celebrating freedom of speech. I may not like what they say, but I'll defend their right to say it.

    I find it more amazing when those who live in the country and want to "change it" actually just want to burn it down thinking they will get freedom of speech in something different. No other country in the world has freedom of speech and what ANTIFA and BLM are doing all over the country would never fly. Also, those who supposedly love this country like the democrats have absolutely ZERO flags at their debates.

    It's an extremely bizarre way to try and distance themselves from the other team. I don't get it. It shouldn't even be a discussion topic at the planning meeting; it should just be understood that if you want to represent America, you should show a minimum allegiance to its' flag by having one on the stage.

    Burn a flag, kneel for the national anthem. How sports leagues are driving away what's left of their fans.

    The flag use to be a symbol of all that is good in this country till ugly used it to poison what it really represents and the hate party has no clue what it even means. Look at who they elected as their leader, nothing else has to be said.

    How that going to happen killer when the majority support the players kneeling to protest your peoples ugliness and bigotry. What a hoot. . Your added bullshit about burning flags isn't at issue at all. so killer are you just stoking the fires with your lies and distortion. Looks like it to me.

    LOL wut? Wow, did you box me up wrong.

    How have I, personally, turned the flag into something ugly & cruel? What have I destroyed in this country? What actions of mine do you consider "pissing on."

    If it helps, I was accused of being a loony lefty about an hour ago, in a different thread.

    I get accused of being both a partisan lefty and partisan righty all the time. It happens almost every day.

    I must be doing something right, if I'm pissing off "both" teams.

    From where I sit, both "teams" are turning this country into something ugly. My and my "ilk" (those who don't have a team,) are doing everything we can to keep this country great. You partisans, though, need to get on the bus.

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The opening night of Major League Baseball’s virus-shortened 2020 season set TV viewership records for Walt Disney Co’s ESPN sports channel, the network said on Friday.

    Four million people, on average, watched the New York Yankees beat defending champions the Washington Nationals on Thursday in the first game of a season delayed by four months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    It was the biggest opening-night audience on record, at more than triple the number of people who tuned in for the first game of the 2019 season, ESPN said in a statement. Overall, it was the highest-rated Major League Baseball game on any network since 2011.

    I know. But kneeling for national anthems isn't what people tune in to sports for is it?

    Three minute commercial breaks suck too. I man up and deal with it. Why let it affect your enjoyment of the game?

    I'd rather watch something else that isn't trying to preach to me.

    I do not know why Democrats hide behind patriotism. They created the KKK and other hate groups.

    Not a problem. We seem to be on the same wavelength here.
