The Flag and the NFL

I like football. I mostly watch college ball lately because in recent years of what the NFL has done and approved of with the actions of there players. 

Here's the deal. I hope that one day I will watch NFL football again, but they will have to redeem themselves. If there is one thing the represents this country its the American Flag, don't disrespect it. 

NFL Draft

The NFL Draft was in town this past week-end. This pic somewhat describes the craziness of the Draft.

College Football Playoffs

It is playoff time for College Football

Since I do not follow the NFL I have focused now on college football.

My team: Notre Dame 

I Stand for the Flag

A few days ago, I had someone ask me about watching Pro Football (NFL). And my next statement was I stand for the flag. I do not watch the NFL anymore. This is not to say I will never watch it again. But until the NFL changes its position on the players kneeling during the National Anthem. I will not support them. I served this country and the flag it represents which includes the people who have died for it.

What's the Purpose?

I've been hearing in the news about college football players receiving money or special favors for playing on the team.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't college about getting an education and not about how much money you make while on the team.

In some conversations, some people believe the players should get paid. They are students, not employees. 

Jim Thorpe

In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest athlete of the half-century. He excelled in football, and won the pentathlon and decathlon in the 1912 Olympics.
