I only heard about the whole football racists thing yesterday as I was taking care of my grandma and the news happened to be on. Everyone made it out to be as a racist vs patriotic thing, the football players refused to salute the flag and put their hands on their hearts as if it was some kind of stand against racism and Trump. But the American flag doesn't represent the president or anything he did it represents the blood sweat and sacrifices that was made to make our country free, it represents honor to the fallen who fought for everything we have and the freedom and protection we have and it represents the famlies who lost so much because their loved ones were lost or injured to protect everyone here at home.
By taking a knee and refusing to honor the flag they were not in the right, anyone who hold respect and honor for the meaning of that flag would have known what to do. I know America is messed up and corrupt yet every time I see that American flag I cannot help but stop and stare at it for bit pondering what it represents remembering those who made it what it is. This stand of theirs against racism was nothing more than dishonor to what that flag represents, and lets be honest racism is a sensitive and overused and over manipulated subject and the media will use that over and over and over again because they only care about ratings they don't care how their stirring the pot affects people watching it.
I am very much against racism but I am also very much against dishonoring the flag because maybe to some it's just a piece of parchment that blows in the wind but to others it has meaning
