Franzen letter: NFL protests

The prima donnas of the sports world need to get off their high horse. They are so used to being taken care of when they do something wrong, always it will be taken care of internally. There is no doubt that they are disrespecting the flag and country. The one playing the race cards are them. They live in the freest, most tolerant country in the world yet they think they can disrespect the flag and country because of who they are? They have been afforded the opportunity to play sports in high school, get a scholarship because they can play and a few go on to the pros. They make more money in a year than any four families do in a lifetime. They claim it is all about equality, put some of that money into projects for that, give some to the towns destroyed by their people because they did not like the way the justice system worked. Many gave their all for this flag and country, military, firemen, policemen and all the others. Speak your mind, yes, but do not disrespect the flag and country that gave you all these opportunities. My small protest is no pro sports TV or anything.
