Tony, I get where you are coming from, let's think back to your basic training days. If you left the latrine dirty, were you punished by your drill sergeant, or was your whole platoon punished? After that, your platoon ensured that you and everyone else did not make that mistake again. After a few really, really bad days, your platoon figured it out. Now at basic training, the majority of the individuals are 17-19 years old, and when a group of kids can figure it out in short order, then why can't we assume that adults can figure it out.
It seems anymore, the only way to get to athletes and other celebrities is to affect their money. So I will boycott any and all NFL games until the entire organization stands and respects the flag and OUR country.
