The National Anthem

By Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:

An Elite QB in the NFL sat through the playing of the National Anthem before a football game in front of a national tv audience to protest the shootings in America today.
While he has every right to his opinion and his act, I also have the right to my own opinion which is that disrespecting our country, Anthem and Flag for any reason is a disgrace and has no room for all Americans. Protest, start a movement, but leave our Flag alone! It represents all in this country, the ones who fought and died representing their family’s and countrymen, deserves respect for this Flag not disrespect.
