He's a bum in my book now; there was also another story that came out that a lot of the players kneeling have arrest records.

It all goes both ways, I know a Nigerian who got busted for DWI late one Saturday night but I've been pulled over plenty of times too; now, I never drive if I have had any kind of alcohol but I try to be understanding of the whole scenario.

Can one imagine the nasty emails and telephone calls the NFL teams are getting? I"m sure they are getting an earful.

Give your opinion, no threatening language. Keep it proper.

 Not enough of one yet.  The entire league needs to apologize to its fans and stand respectfully for the anthem every time or they have not gotten the message yet.

Too late now,  the masks have already come off.
