A VFW in the Cleveland area is taking a stand for the American flag in reaction to Browns players kneeling during the National Anthem. The protest by a dozen players took place on Monday’s game.
A sign posted outside the VFW Auxiliary Post shared with Fox News 8 read “We like our Browns – we love our flag more. Your games will no longer be shown here. God Bless America.” If the situation changes, however, the post is willing to give the Browns another chance.
“It has to change,” Tim Zvoncheck, commander at the post, said. “Too many of our brothers and sisters have died for that flag, in supporting that anthem, and this country.” He also said they “will not support any person, or any organization, that disrespects that.”
Just as the protesters believe they are standing upfor their cause, so does Zvoncheck believe he and others are doing. “If we don’t have the right to stand up for this, who does?” He clarified they “don’t respect them for their opinions, we disrespect them for how they handle it.”

Also, I will not watch a game if the National Anthem is sung in any other form (artist's rendition), than the original music score. Amen!

ReplyDeleteBrowns are divisional rival but I salute their fans for taking a stand the ownership has dodged.
Browns ownership - Grow a pair!
11:44. I guess you don't get to see a lot of games.
ReplyDeleteI'm with the veterans.
ReplyDeleteI got rid of NFL Red Zone. NFL and ESPN need to show respect for their viewers.
The shield better be very careful - get the paying veteran customers mad, could/should cause a media uproar. Just see what Charlottesville has done to history!!!!!!!!!!!
