    I did notice a recent Gallup poll which indicates pro sports are the second least popular industry (behind pharmaceutical).

    Unfortunately, the popularity falls along political lines.

    Democrats continue to support sports, while Republicans and Independents have become more negative:

    This is an excellent article, but is the "tip of the iceberg". 

    These athletes are making millions of dollars, living in the lap of luxury, in the best country in the world. 

    Peaceful protests are one thing, but spitting on the flag of the very country that has afforded them their lifestyle is unacceptable. 

    If they hate our country so much, perhaps they should move to some other country to see how well their lifestyle lasts.

    NFL  Commissioner, Roger Goodell, caved in and is a disgrace!  He should resign!

    Thank you for giving me this information to read, watch and a moment to reflect of what my Flag, National Anthem represents, and means to me. Thank you.

    Marcia Kosterka said it well. 

    Enough of this. 

    Turn off the sports, read a good book, take a walk,  call a friend who is shut in with health issues, or offer to shop for someone who needs help.

    Good Afternoon Dick.

    Excellent article about the NFL, I already decided not to watch any of the games for this season.

    Especially the the different treatment of Tim Tebow for taking a kneel to honor God and they crucified him for doing that.

    Also the piece you wrote about National Anthem, the history the struggle, and the true patriots who defended our flag.

    Thanks again Dick for your wonderful article about the history of our Flag.
