Jim Howard, of Garden City, Kansas is a red-blooded, American patriot and a faithful supporter of the athletic program at the local community college.
For 32 years he’s volunteered with the booster club – keeping scorebooks, holding fundraisers, running the chain gang for football – and even providing a place for players to have a Thanksgiving meal.
He was in the stands on Nov. 1 for the season-opener of the Garden City Broncbusters basketball team. And when the announcer asked everyone to stand for the national anthem, he dutifully joined the crowd and stood at attention.
That’s when he noticed a lone player seated on a bench at courtside – Rasool Samir, a 19-year-old Muslim red-shirt.

Just continue to dig you grave little snowflakes. We the People are True Patriots and YOU WILL LOSE. period
ReplyDeleteThat college better get their s*@$ together and put a lid on this. We are talking big money from alums down the road.
ReplyDeleteI did not know anyone watched this game any longer. I gave up on Basketball long before i quit watching football.
ReplyDeleteI want these players who kneel for our anthem and feel "oppressed" to watch that video of the North Korean defecting to South Korea, and getting shot for his trouble.
ReplyDeleteThen come back and tell me how oppressed you feel. How your rights are violated. I can't remember a single time of an American citizen getting shot while trying to leave this country.
The booster club kicked Mr. Howard out after this. They said he shouldn't have engaged in violence with the student. I didn't hear about any violence. Mr. Howard never touched the player. They got a little heated in their discussion and then the police arrived. Where was the violence? Anyway, I think they lost out and NOT Mr. Howard. I'm sure he has done more for them over the years than they have done for him. I applaud you, Mr. Howard.
