Re: POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!
I could literally post these all night. The amount of vets who are behind the NFL on this just proves that the only ones truly upset about it are the war hawks who were too chicken{bleep} to ever actually serve. The Vets seem to get it across all generations and demographics...
Also it shows that the meme of "it does nothing and is rather pointless is completely false. This thing is spreading and the more players (and sports) that do it the more it is going to shine a big ole light on what is really going on in this country.
(it is funny that at least half of those upset on twitter are women with selfie pictures that are so very obviously spam)
