This guy is clearly a Racist Biggot
Turning the Pledge of Allegiance into a formulaic country song is far more disrespectful in my opinion than removing your helmet and quietly taking a knee during the anthem. Far worse are the fat asses in the stands who keep eating their nachos while the anthem is sung, but no one is calling for them to be fired.
I am very tired of all the attention paid Kaepernak (sp) and his pathetic protest. But it is in the true nature of this nation to protest.
I never had the opportunity to serve in any branch of the military. But I understand that one of the rights our Veterans have fought for (with many giving their lives) is the right to protest. I have always stood, placed my hand (or hat) over my heart. As it concludes and most people cheer, I always thank God for our Vet's and his blessings. I'm ok with those over paid atheletes protesting. BUT, they should NOT be allowed to do it on the field as a paid employee while representing a team and a city. They can protest on their own time.
This song, doesn't offend me. He quoted some of the words to put the song in the right perspective and set the tone for his message. And it's a message I 100% agree with. As I said upfront, I never had the opportunity to serve in the military, but I would gladly stand beside our men and women in uniform (military, police, fire...hell even the boy scouts) to defend this great nation.
Edit- BTW it was a good song and an even better video. Even got a little dust in my eye while watching it
