AMVETS says NFL censored its ad against flag protests
By: Leo Shane III  
WASHINGTON — AMVETS officials are decrying “corporate censorship†from the National Football League for their decision not to run an ad in their Super Bowl program which responds to league players’ decision to kneel for the national anthem in protest of national equality issues.
The ad, which would have cost the veterans organization $30,000, features the tag “#PleaseStand†with a picture of service members saluting the American flag and information on how to donate to the congressionally-chartered organization.
