This NFL season will go down in infamy. While millionaire players, scandal and crime-ridden, disrespected the flag week after week to protest perceived injustices, fans tuned out. America’s once most-popular spot has become the most controversial.
Meanwhile, the league banned an ad from a veterans organization politely asking that everyone stand for the national anthem.
NewsBusters reports:
AMVETS National Commander Marion Polk laid it all out for Fox News. “The NFL, bottom line, just denied us our opportunity for free speech,” he explained. “We didn’t place this ad, please stand, for any political reason whatsoever. It was our way of just getting the American public to stand in their beliefs.”
