Not sure a white guy is the guy who is the one to tell others the best way to bring recognition to racial equality and social justice.
I'm with you. Every man in my family including me, my father, my brother, every single one of my uncles, all six of them were in the Army except my brother who was in the USMC and one uncle who served in the South Pacific during WWII. One uncle was even in the Baaton Death March in the Army. Even my stepfather was in the Army during the Korean War. Three uncles were Airborne in WWII and one of those continued in the Korean War. My father flew on a B17 in the Army Air Corps. I was in combat in Vietnam in 1968. We would honor anyone respectfully taking a knee.
sure, but you can probably make it on foot to the store and back without getting choked to death...….perspective...police brutality and equal rights are worth taking a knee for....it's completely appropriate...remember the black gloves at the Olympics way back in the civil rights movement? It's time to recognize the need for major national change regarding privelege and the targeting of minority citizens....I'm a war vet and I'm not offended by a football player protesting treatment of blacks by cops...nobody should be...we should all take a knee together since govt lacks the integrity to police it's own conduct
I’m the biggest Drew Brees fan out there. Might be my favorite athlete. I’m a huge Saints fan for years. But Drew, shut up. Who cares. This shit should be a non issue
I do too. And I’m a Trump hating Democrat. it’s funny though how the Republican Party has portrayed itself as more patriotic. Patriots and bible thumpers are the target audience. Its catchy
I'm glad someone shows respect for the flag. And Im sure ABM and Drew are both going to demand these shirts/uniforms stop being made. 5dc1798309247_440658b by julius posted Jun 3, 2020 at 10:42 PM since you know, “No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.” (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/...art of the flag,a costume or athletic uniform.) But strangely enough, I don't hear anyone complaining about 'disrespect' to the flag there. Hm, I wonder why. Qwhite the conundrum we got there.
It's easy to label the other as the other, and this is no different. People find it strange that I collect old US flags (I have 3 large US flags, including one that was from a Navy ship) despite me being liberal and not a republican. I mean, I'm liberal, I'm supposed to hate the flag and burn it!!!1! I love the flag, but I don't hold it up as some super duper special thing where we use it as a crutch to hate others for celebrating differently or believing differently.
Its the stars and stripes pattern. It isn't a flag. Using a part of the flag would mean that you use the flag itself as a cape or something along those lines. If each jersey was made using an American Flag and then cutting out the appropriate patterns and then stitching it into the uniform as the player number, you'd have a point.
Exactly. Being patriotic shouldn’t be a dick measuring contest. I’ve had several family members serve in the military. I’m proud to be American. Honestly, this issue, like so many would never been made into what it was if Trump didn’t exploit it to rile up the losers who voted him in office
If they're not careful in DC they'll end up back where they started with only 13 states again...original round star pattern..old school
read the code. It says no PART of a flag can be used as a part of a costume or uniform. It doesn't mean "oh well, if you just have the stars and stripes pattern, all is peachy keen". The stars and stripes are part of the flag. It doesn't mean just a physical flag, as they say it's not supposed to be used as any kind of advertisement. "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."
