A Retired Marine Colonel’s Letter To The NFL
The controversy over our national anthem continues to rage. The NFL has now decided that America is really two countries. Therefore, we need to have two anthems played before NFL games. This is mind-blowingly stupid. There is one national anthem and it is the Star-Spangled Banner.
Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, would not allow Tim Tebow to kneel in prayer. Goodell would not allow the Dallas Cowboys to put a tribute to slain police officers on their helmets. He would not allow 9-11 tributes. Now he allows players to “honor” a sex offender and career criminal. Political expressions that serve to divide the country are now allowed.
