Happy Columbus Day America, a day off for many out there, who seem to forget where this country came from and how it was discovered. This great land mass we live upon was landed on by Columbus of course, but Leif Ericson the Viking was here prior to him and prior to all was the American Indians. Yes you heard me folks, the American Indians, they were the ones who helped the Pilgrims when they came here and them were killed off and pushed around by white men and women from europe. Sad isn’t it they fought and fought and got defeated, and pushed onto reservations and mistreated. It is a sad heritage that no Americans talk or think about, isn’t it?
As we celebrate a day called after an Italian named Columbus it goes to prove certain nationalities in America have greater pull than others, Stop and Think about it folks, Columbus Day, Saint Patty’s for the Irish, then we celebrate Martin Luther KIng Jr.s birthday too. We seem to honor all and all live together in a melting pot called the United States of America.
I love this great nation I was born and raised in Waterbury Connecticut’s north end in the middle of that melting pot of the 1960s. We had black, white, hispanic and orientals too, all in the projects. All nationalities too, french, Italian. Albanian, Puerto Rican, Spanish, it didn’t matter we all learned to live together and get along. Those days it seems is over for too many americans want to fight among themselves and not realize what I am about to, someday soon, who knows when, another country, will be jealous enough, angry enough and foolish enough to attack us at home like Al Qaeda did. That September day many Americans froze in place at home and abroad and finally realized no matter what color, nationality,creed or anything else we were united under attack. We united, we rebuilt, we overcame and we got the bastard who devised the attack. And I know we can and will do so again if needed, we are Americans.
As I watch this nation today, I am disappointed in the protests by NFL Players on the fields of play, during the American National Anthem. We the People, in order to form a more united union, remember those words folks, remember George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Sam Adams, and those that signed the Constitution we live under and who fought for our Independence, Do you remember them? Do you remember the facts George Washington freed his slaves, Thomas Jefferson freed his too, Sam Adams never had any like many other Presidents.
Do you remember the billions of Americans who fought the Civil War, World War one and two, and the Vietnam and Korean Wars too. I mention them because they were all colors, all nationalities in America, fighting for the cause of justice and freedom in the world. Now we have National FootBall Players kneeling during the National Anthem, disrespecting, thos epeople and the Veterans and Disabled Veterans at each game played and no Owner has the balls to tell his players to stand and stop the bullshit why is that? Shouldn’t the Owners who run the League and The commish get together and tell the players enough, your protest for social injustice doesn’t belong on our fields, in our stadiums, take it elsewhere and respect the American Anthem and The American Flag and The Americans who fought to preserve your rights and this nation.
You protest in my stadium you will not play on my team is what I would tell the players, go else where and try it and your will not play in The National FootBall League. that’s the message that will stop the protest during the Anthem, these Owners of these teams own the property and pay the players their high salaries. All to play a game for the public to watch, so tell these players to stop and don’t allow them to protest, they kneel, they are benched and disciplined that’s what needs to be done. They lose enough bucks and can’t play and make millions anymore they will realize they can’t do it anymore. They will become ex-college stars with no chance to play Pro, that will wake em up, go get a normal job!
I remind the NFL, The Owners and The Commish, you are running a business that is a god damn game, not real work here, it’s sports. Stop the protest of go back to the high school and college fields and play for free. That’s the message that needs to be sent from the League and Owners to the Players.
As you can tell I am mad and pissed off over it all. I served 16 years in the services of my country defending your rights and mine too and our nation, our constitution and our bill of rights. I gave up my health not for myself but for all who love and live in this country, and you players have the balls to disrespect it all. Do it else where not during the National Anthem, do it on the streets, not in The NFL Stadiums, not on National Tv where you have a trapped audience for the fans are tired of it, stop it now. I am calling on all NFL Fans, and all Americans who believe in this country to ban the games, turn them off, stay away, let them protest to empty stands, and to the Owners have some balls and stop it now tell em stop of go.
