There is a Time and Place for Protests!
There is always a time and place for everything. I am not against people protesting and expressing their freedom of speech. Mr. Jerry Jones is right (Read the Article Below). Be reminded that the FLAG, the National Anthem, and the honor of our soldiers for fighting and dying for our freedon should not be use, disrespected, and exploited. Whatever social injustice, political issues, or racial problem our country may be into; it is preferable and advisable to exercise any protests with decency, respect and order.
I hope NFL will consider working with the government to put an end on this issue in a professional manner, settle down the grievances, and restore respect to our FLAG. It's Red, White and Blue. It is not purely Red or Blue not Black and White or Brown. The USA FLAG represent you- It's in your passport. The National Anthem represents you. Every time the National Anthem is sang and the USA FLAG is raised; it takes us back from the founding fathers, to Abraham Lincoln, to World War 1 and 2, and to those who have lost their lives for our freedom.
The sports arenas or football fields are places where children and youth who are "would be" or "could be" another Michael Jordan or Tim Tebow are watching the athletes, not as protesters and disrespectful player to our FLAG, but as an accomplished athlete and people of great influence. If every athlete will impress a positive impact to every citizens by being a good example of respect, patriotism, and positive values- we are building a great future for our country and the future generations.
It is my desire to watch my grand children someday, coming to the sports events and not be worried of what they will see or witnessed on the unpatriotic, negative, and disgraceful attitude of an athlete or some athletes. It will definitely be touching the nerve of pride on both sides to settle this issue. One of the resolution is for the Congress and Senate to Draft and Approve a Law with regards to public response every time the National Anthem is sang and the USA FLAG is raised. Racism is evil, Social injustice is evil. Let's stop all these evil in love, respect and unity.
