It's not about flag worship, it's about being a decent fucking human being.

How does not standing for the national anthem make you a bad person?

Well you could be like shakira and openly appropriate and mock native Americans during your show with her tongue thing.

Seems kinda disrespectful when Jay-Z just signed a big contract with the NFL, and Beyonce has sung the national anthem and performed in 2 halftime shows.

Nothing new, bashing the United States and our troops is the fad thing to do. Scumbags will be scumbags.

I'm sure we recall when Beyonce lip-synced the National Anthem.

Not supporting blind patriotism and the US war machine does not make them a scumbag....actually the reverse is true.

The thing is, if you hate the United States, why live there. There are many other countries out there.

Why is professional sports and patriotism combined? It's a propaganda device intended to instill feelings of unity and support for the actions of others.

I'm a veteran, and I am a patriot for my family and community. For inalienable constitutional freedoms.

The MIC would strip is if those freedoms, and use the young men and women in our communities as fodder for their own personal gain.

I understand why people feel like they do about flag saluting, and football.

Unfortunately, this well-intentioned expression of patriotism is one sided. The oligarchs do not have our backs in the same way.

This type of patriotism is the tool that is used to justify the loss of your young neighbor, or relative to senseless wars of imperialism.

Also, Jayz and Beyonce are not Patriots. Far from it.
They party with the pedogate witch Marina Abramovic

They support the NWO.
