It is very difficult to say anything without being blasted by somebody with a difference of opinion or stance, so I respect your willingness to speak up for what you believe.  I am also confused how the American Flag represents any inkling of injustice or inequality.  How did this happen?

I am a veteran who was able to live through my military career.  Many gave their life to protect and represent our flag...do we disrespect and ignore their sacrifice??!  No way!!

I was very disappointed to hear that Bill O'Brien, head coach of Texans, has already announced he will kneel during National Anthem.  Is it because he is afraid of being accused as a racist or actually for his own misguided reason??

Maybe our nation's history will be taken out of books from fear of upsetting one person!

Thanks. I agree. O'Brian was on thin ice in the locker room this year, so like Brees, he had to cave or risk losing the team. I'd rather lose the team or respect than compromise my beliefs. I hope they figure out a different way to use their voices so I can keep watching football!
