[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 186717, member: 6974"] I don't watch NFL football. I don't think I've watched a full game since the Harbaugh Bowl in 2013. (I've lived in San Jose since '81 and watched and cheered for all 5 of the '9ers Super Bowl wins! Kapernick is the only '9er quarterback to lose a Super Bowl.) This is disrespecting our flag and our National Anthem and just re-inforces my beliefs that these protestors should not be supported. I didn't serve. I was a "draft dodger" by some peoples definition ... 9 semesters of college with a 2-S deferment got me a BSCE in Civil Engineering from UND in Jan. '68. I had a job offer from a consortium headed by Morrison Knudson to go to work in Viet Nam as a civilian, but I needed a deferment to go. No deal. I got classified 1-A and got drafted. Six weeks into basic at Ft. Lewis I was medically separated, classified 4-F and went to Vietnam in December '68. Spent 42 months in Vietnam and came home in June of '72. Does this give me a platform to spout off on these asshats about not standing up for the National Anthem? I think so. If someone wants to protest police brutality, kneeling at an NFL game doesn't do it. The TV networks didn't even televise the anthem until these asshats started their protests. Just my $.02. Go SIOUX. Fighting Sioux forever!!! Steve. [/QUOTE]
