    I wasn't going to comment on this thread, until I saw the video of Trump...

    Sitting for the National Anthem is essentially disrespectful, IMHO

    An 'adult' who cannot stand quietly (if not even with hand near where a human heart is) for the required 2 minutes of the anthem is completely disrespectful.

    the national anthem is a symbol of the white man's oppression upon African Americans.

    they are oppressed from the ghetto,

    Hundreds of thousands of Christians died to free slaves from Democratic slaveowners.

    Someone said the half-time show was "empowering for women." I wonder how it's empowering for women when they make women the entire entertainment and they put on a display in which they act like strippers? Hmmm.....

    Maybe they take issue with the regular practice by the NFL of carrying the flag horizontal and not aloft? I’d say they’re being quite respectful in not standing for such disrespect.

    https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/celebrate/flagdisplay.pdf

    “Other Things Not to Do with the Flag
    Out of respect for the U.S. flag, never:
    dip it for any person or thing, even though state flags, regimental colors and other flags
    may be dipped as a mark of honor.
    display it with the union down, except as a signal of distress.
    let the flag touch anything beneath it: ground, floor, water, merchandise.
    carry it horizontally, but always aloft.
    fasten or display it in a way that will permit it to be damaged or soiled.
    place anything on the flag, including letters, insignia, or designs of any kind.
    use it for holding anything.
    use it as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. It should not be used on a costume or
    athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be attached to the uniform of patriotic organizations, military personnel, police officers and firefighters.
    use the flag for advertising or promotion purposes or print it on paper napkins, boxes or anything else intended for temporary use and discard”

    I guess those rules never considered that some bozo would physically assault the thing...

    Although I think you could put that under "let the flag touch anything beneath it"

    If they want to monkey around maybe they should go back to the jungle and do it in style.

    Crownline, what on earth are you referring to concerning the helicopter comment? I know you're not referring to the death of Kobe Bryant are you?

    No, billionaires are not immune from being tacky. Look at Trump. (He says he is a billionaire. Nobody is sure he is)
