VFW to boycott Chiefs etc
 

Apparently VFW halls are going to boycott any team that protest during the national Anthem.

Chiefs,Seattle,49ers etc

ok

These veterans don't speak for veterans /prc ;)

Good. Not sure it rates very high on the so-what meter, but I'm glad somebody's pissed off.

Chiefs protested?

How did Seattle or the Chiefs boycott the National Anthem? Dolphins and the 49ers are only teams I heard of that had a very small amt of playaers doing it.

Peters did

Marcus Peters did with his John Carlos salute. I mean, I guess that's a protest? Not like he sat or took a knee, exactly.

It appears that I'm out of ****s to give

Who?

They don't speak for me

Personally I just wish they did the National Anthem before the players came out on the field, so I wouldn't have to hear so many stupid hot takes about this issue.

Seriously. That was barely a protest.

I'm a bit perplexed by the contradictory ideas of defending the freedoms of the U.S. while simultaneously being pissed off by someone exercising those freedoms.

When it's an express visible volitional symbolic act, there's no 'barely' in protest.

It's not like he crossed his fingers and hoped no one noticed or asked him about it. He did it at a specific time and place, with guaranteed visibility, for reasons he wanted publicized.
