This is in response to the gentleman from upstate New York who quit his job as a low-level stadium worker in protest of the protests. (Yes, I got better.)
No veteran fights for "the flag." It matters not whether he is a US veteran, a Canadian, a Mexican, a European soldier, or even a soldier of one of our enemies. We don't fight for flags, but for what that symbol represents.
And one of the things represented by our symbol is Freedom of Expression.
Mr. Nikisher, the players have every bit as much right to protest our ersatz president as you do to do what you did. That you believe otherwise makes you...less of a human being.
