Deport those who won’t stand for the flag

I know we all have our thoughts on this NFL flag business. I’m a very old Marine and I believe in our right to protest.

However, disrespecting our flag is not a protest; it is despicable. The flag is the symbol of our country, and if you disrespect it, you disrespect our country.

I know these kids don’t have a very good grasp on what they are doing. Most are very young and very wealthy and have done very little in the service of their country. I hope they reconsider what they are doing as I, for one, will watch no more pro football.

The coaches and owners, however, are older and should know better. God knows I’m no Trump supporter, but he is right on this one.

If you won’t stand up and sing the national anthem you should be deported, but I’ll settle for FIRED.

Millions have died for your rights. Don’t abuse them.
