Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
There was a time before video cameras where these rioters would have tripped on a curb and broke both arms, his nose, a jaw, and had teeth fall out. Just like the Marines a few years ago that caught a guy that stabbed a fellow Marine. Oops, he fell down.

Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
Unfortunately the same thing happened to a lot of innocent people of color. Kind of what this anthem stuff is all about.

He was drafted after some scouts bought in to the "pistol", not shotgun, offensive game plan. Coach Jim Harbaugh built a complete offense around Krapernack to utilize the pistol offense. Krapernack was not able to read defenses and had not accuracy or touch on his passes. As an option running QB he was OK, until they came up with defenses that made him think about his options and most of the time it was wrong. His QB rating was so low that he was benched and became the second or third string QB. I don't know what was in his contract, but he became a free agent and he wasn't good enough to be signed. The NFL has welcomed back dog fighters, spousal abusers, murderers, dope dealers and users, if you had the TALENT TO PLAY THE GAME. Krapernack didn't.

Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
I would join in the discussion but the person who controls the content of posts does not appreciate my opinion.

Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
Yes it would be nice not to be having fools burning down buildings, looting everything in sight, paint getting spilled all over streets, AND waking up in the morning and not hearing about another police officer or officers getting shot. Gee, things sure were different, and nice like Sunoco 260 for $.32 a gallon.

Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
There are an estimated 40,056 homeless veterans living in the United States. Forty percent of these homeless veterans live in places "not suitable for human habitation." I have put in way to many and still the VA shrugs their shoulder and telsl me "we just don't have enough space to accommodate any additional people". I will take a knee until this wrong is righted.

Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
Eddie, there are many wrongs in today's world and unfortunately the plight of so many veterans is but one of them. But is nothing sacred? Can we not all stand during the National Anthem to at minimum pay allegience to the ideals it represents and to pay honor to all those who served in hopes of those ideals being one day realized (within the grasp of humans at least)? There is surely some things that we can honor as being sacred.

Re: Drag racers stand for the National Anthem
I don't want this to become a political issue. I hold the Constitution of the country sacred, the rights to VA Benefits is protected by that very document. The Federal Circuit held in Cushman v. Shinseki that applicants for veterans‘ benefits have a constitutionally protected property interest in their application for benefits. Accordingly, such applicants are entitled to constitutionally prescribed procedures in connection with their claims for benefits under the terms of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution as is the right to peaceful protest.
