On Sunday, it wasn't the ten-second rule that cost the Lions a win that was the most-talked about incident in the NFL.

Before the games on Sunday, players, coaches and owners stood in solidarity during the National Anthem. Some players kneeled and there were a few that were AWOL during the Anthem.

The response came after on Friday, Drumpf called those who kneeled during the anthem "sons of bitches" and called for team owners to fire players who did so. Some Drumpf supporters who supported him in the election were now supporting the players who were offended by his rhetoric, including Patriots owner Robert Kraft and QB Tom Brady. However, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did say that he would discipline players who kneeled and so did several NASCAR owners.

Of course, the kneeling all started by former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, who was protesting the police brutality and mistreatment of blacks in America. Now, many are protesting the words of a president who bows to the white trash who voted him in and the wealthy assholes who will eventually benefit from his proposed tax cuts that will wreck the economy. Wait and see.

You know, the kneelers make a point. But as a white man, yes, I think this country IS in distress. We're in danger of losing our healthcare (again), we're the laughing stock of the world because of Drumpf's tirade at the UN and yes, North Korea wants to nuke us all. Oh, and even though our current governor in Michigan, Rick Snyder fucked over the unions and the city of Flint even worse, Drumpf endorsed his little butt buddy, Bill Scheutte as governor for next year.

When people kneel in front of the National Anthem, it's a sign that yes, something's wrong with America. People sat during the Anthem during Vietnam. They had the right to do so because it was an embarrassment for America. Last week, the Senate overwhelmingly voted for a $700 billion budget for the military, including a shit ton of Democrats who should have vetoed it and voted to help better healthcare in America.

Kneeling in front of the Anthem is a right that our soldiers and founders fought for. It's as patriotic, IMHO as burning a flag or flying it upside down. If you don't like it, too bad. I'm an American and if I want to take a piss while the Anthem is playing, I have every God-given right to do so.

Drumpf needs to know that the American flag is NOT on the top of the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard.
