[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 347043, member: 2426"] I heard on the radio that Dan Quinn is asking all of the fans on Sunday to lock arms during the national anthem. Assuming the best intentions of all of the people involved(except Quinn and the NFL), this is disturbing to me for two reasons: [LIST=1] [*]If you are a protester who is trying to raise awareness of oppression and police brutality, your small protests to raise awareness have been co opted by the NFL as large protests in support of the NFL. [*]If you are a person who revers the flag and national anthem as symbols of the USA, the flag and anthem have been co opted by the NFL. They are no longer symbols of the USA, they are symbols of the NFL [/LIST] Whether there are protests or not, if the flag and anthem are going to be used as symbols of the NFL, or teams of the NFL instead of symbols of the USA, the flag should not be presented and the anthem should not be played.
