Eggzactly! Thank you!

And to add to what JGC2 had to say...

Ask the next person you argue with over the Constitution where it says: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Because it seems most Americans swear this is a “Constitutional Right” spelled out in the preamble or somewhere in the BOR.

It’s not.


ETA: Colon Kapersnick should have received a league warning the first time, been suspended and fined the second time and fired after the third time for violating NFL rules stating all active players will be present and ‘stand’ for the National Anthem on the field.

Now that entire teams are staying in the locker room for the National Anthem, they should stay there and forfeit the game. Team owners should be fined as well as all the players.
