Last Sunday the U.S. Grand Prix was held in Austin Texas. During the opening ceremony, all 20 Formula 1 drivers lined up for the playing of our National Anthem. 16 of the drivers were European, one was from Australia, one from Brazil, one from Canada and one from Mexico. Not one of the drivers was from the U.S. Yet all the drivers removed their caps and stood at attention while the Star Spangled Banner was being played.

Major League Soccer players stand at attention during the National Anthem. Many of these soccer players are from countries other than the U.S.

In the National Hockey League only a handful of players are Americans. Most hockey players are from Canada and Europe. Yet when the Star Spangled Banner is played, all of the players stand, including the Russians.

Compare that to many of the black NFL players who refuse to stand during the National Anthem. These overpaid degenerate Americans disrespect our flag and country in protest against what started out as a stand against police brutality.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell all but encouraged this disrespect for the flag under which hundreds of thousands American soldiers and sailors died so that those assholes were able to play football and earn millions of dollars when many of the m couldn’t spell “cat” unless you spotted them the ‘c’ and ’t’.

Compare that to coach John Tortorella of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets who promised that if any of his hockey players fail to stand for the Star Spangled Banner, they would be benched for the whole game.

It’s a sad day and an awful shame when foreign sports stars are more respectful for our flag and country than many NFL players and their supporters.
