The opportunities are vast .. In MY OPINION neither right nor wrong but right for me The Flag represents all that America stands for. The opportunity it brings to all that live here ..the protection it encompasses .. It's one thing to have your opinion but he is not boycotting his check or sitting out refusing to play .. He accepts the mansion he lives in. If he disrespects the the flag he is being hypocritical by ACCEPTING ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR And last thing racism lives in the hearts and minds of the ignorant. It has been projected on many
