Colin Kaepernick and about how he and other athletes were disrespecting this country's vets and the American Flag. What colin was doing was taking a stand against those who were murdered and disrespected by cops like Derek Chauvin who murdered George Floyd in broad daylight and on film. OLD and out of touch.

Vin Scully on Player Protests: 'I Will Never Watch Another NFL Game Again'


Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully says he is done watching NFL games because of anthem protests.


SCOOBY AXSON,NOV 5, 2017

Legendary Hall of Fame Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully says he will not watch another NFL game because of the player protests.

“I have only one personal thought, really. And I am so disappointed,” Scully added. “I used to love, during the fall and winter, to watch the NFL on Sunday. And it’s not that I’m some great patriot. I was in the Navy for a year. Didn’t go anywhere. Didn’t do anything. But I have overwhelming respect and admiration for anyone who puts on a uniform and goes to war. So the only thing I can do in my little way is not to preach."

He said he didn't want to preach, and that's exactly what he did. I wonder if he was happy with what the GQP did in voting against the vets burn pit bill, and fist pumping it the other day the first time around.
