Like millions of NFL football fans, screaming and yelling for our teams to win, I sit in wonder as this year’s 2017 season unfolded with the very rich, NFL players of all races ‘taking a knee’ during the beloved national anthem. This was followed by whole teams disappearing during the national anthem in their locker rooms. So far, most fans have received this like a treasonous ‘gut punch’ against our flag, Vets, country and sacred tradition. The usual, media ‘ship of fools’ call it all about race and the racist, President Trump picking a fight with the NFL.
As a loyal Seahawks fan, who saw my team last week not even come out during the national anthem, along with the team they were playing, I felt beyond, sick to my stomach. Boy, did they call this one wrong.
