I’ve kept my opinions pretty much to myself over the standing during the National Anthem thing, but I am needing to speak now…
This is my dad. He served 2 tours of Vietnam while he was enlisted for 20 years in the US Army. He will be 70 in November. Over the past decade, he has lost a kidney to cancer and had 8 toes amputated due to Diabetic neuropathy. Less than 2 weeks ago, he had the 8th toe amputated along with a good portion of his left foot. Tonight, with a Picc-Line in his arm, IV antibiotics in a cooler, and half a foot, he stood in honor of a country he loves…
Just think about that next time you take up for a punk that makes millions to play football that thinks this country has wronged him…
