On this day …

Francis Scott Key writes the poem that later became the Star Spangled Banner, the anthem for the greatest country in the world. The poem is to inspire all Americans to overcome and through unity we are strong. It tells of the pride of being American.

This song should put a tingle down your spine of pride.

However now it has become controversial because people have no pride in their country or themselves. Millionaires kneel while it plays and forget that they would not be where they are if this country wasn’t what it is. People are caught up in the gang mentality of what they hate about the country rather than thank God that they were born here and not some third world country .

Yes we are a nation of immigrates, but we are also a nation of laws. Sadly , people think that only their opinion matters . We have become a nation of sore losers and ” if I don’t agree with it ,it must be destroyed” . We have long forgotten what this country was founded on. Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. We have left God on the back burner and perhaps he is responding. Parents no longer parent and let their children run the streets doing as they please, then get upset and call racism when they are arrested for breaking the law.

We need to go back and find our pride. Pride in ourselves , pride in our country , and pride in God. Parents need to be parents again and not just the person who pays the bills. Sunday’s need to be the day you wake up early and head to church for worship not just for football. If you get in trouble or arrested or fired don’t look for someone to blame, look in the mirror first.

I love this country and I want my kids to love it too.

God Bless America

God Bless Francis Scott Key.

National Action Network protest the NFL decision to make players respect America

So Al Sharpton’s National Action Network is protesting the new NFL rule that requires players to respect the American Flag and National Anthem.

Al Sharpton is a man that has built his career on racism and now has followers who believe that they are owed something for actions that happened 150 years ago.

They feel that the NFL is not being fair and taking away rights from players by not allowing them to protest the country that has given them the opportunity to make millions for playing a sport.

First off the NFL is a business and each team is like a satellite company under the umbrella of the NFL. Which means that they have to follow the rules of the NFL. If they chose not to the NFL has a right to fine or suspend or even take away draft picks from the teams.

If the players feel like they are being treated unfair they are more then welcome to leave the NFL and go out into the real world and get a job. It’s time we stop allowing people who can throw a ball control how the league is run.

And people and groups need to stay out of the NFL’s business dealings.

Thank you ,NFL for taking a stand…

Yesterday the NFL has finally took a stand against players protesting on the field during an NFL game. Stating that if a player kneels during the national anthem that the team will be fined. I’m happy with this decision , however this should have happened before all this started.

Now let me say this I support the players right to protest and I believe in what they are protesting,but they need to do it away from the field . Plus , I believe Collen Kapernick didn’t do it for the reasons that he says he did.

Let’s go through this, Kapernick is an average QB at best and was on a team that was struggling. He was about to lose his starting position and came up with a plan to attempt to keep his job. He figured that if he started some movement and the team benched him he could use it saying they only did it due to the protest. It didn’t work because he still got benched.

Since being released he has more fame then he ever did as a football player. He claims he still wants to play the sport and teams have given him the opportunity to try out . All he has to do is not protest during the game and he will not except that. So don’t tell me that teams don’t want him ,they do. They just don’t want the mess and distraction that he brings.

Now as much as I like the decision to require to stand and show respect to our anthem ,the players association will properly throw a fit about they are stopping their first amendment right. Well, again they are misinformed due to the fact that the first ammendment does not apply to your job. You can say whatever you want while at work but the owner has a right to punish you or fire you if it makes the business look bad. Remember the NFL is a business and they are in it for the same thing that every other business is. MONEY.
