Actually, I have a degree from Lamar.  I also served in the US Army, and to me, showing disrespect to our flag and country is despicable, but is their right.  But what really amazes me is that Roger G

The old expression, Killed the Goose that laid the golden egg, comes to mind.  These players are doing just that it appears.  Still say Roger could (should) have stopped this with Kapertwit.  Jerry Jo

The COWBOYS did it right. Did not kneel during the National Anthem. All showed RESPECT and STOOD, during the National Anthem, like real men do!!! Maybe the rest of those sorry organizations can learn

From yesterday's WSJ...

I Used to Sit for the National Anthem Too 

This is the hidden content, please


From article by Jason L Riley...

"A Justice Department report published in 2001 noted that between 1976 and 1998, the teen and adult population grew by 47 million people, and the number of police officers increased by more than 200,000, yet the number of people killed by police "did not generally rise" over this period. Moreover, a "growing percentage of felons killed by police are white, and a declining percentage are black." A separate Justice study released in 2011 also reported a decline in killings by police, between 1980 and 2008. And according to figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate at which police kill blacks has fallen by 70% since the late 1960s.

An increase in press coverage of police shootings isn't the same thing as an increase in police shootings."

People came down hard on Tomlin for staying the locker room during the anthem. But not on Pete Carroll and the Titans hc for doing the same thing. 

Didn't Tomlin basically throw Villanueva under the bus without coming out and actually saying as much?  Maybe that is why people are coming down hard on him.

Like Villanueva of the Steelers, you can bet he wouldn't kneel or stay in the locker room during the anthem.  He is a true hero, not the jokers that suit up on Sunday.

His wife was ticked off and voiced her disapproval to Trump in a tweet. Wrong post. I was talking about Tillman's post. Why are you guys so upset about a player taking a knee when it is their constitutional right to do so. Don't say, because they are at work, because obviously their employers didn't mind, they joined them. We live in a democracy, not a dictatorship.
