Around the NFL Week 1!

[KI Skins Fan]

Today is 9-11. When the national anthem is played today at NFL games, everyone's thoughts should be about the families of the victims and the sacrifices of the first responders on the day of that national tragedy, including sixty police officers who died trying to save others. Today, of all days, we should show our national unity by honoring our flag. Nothing should be done to detract from that on this day.

I recognize that NFL players have the right to demonstrate against injustice, even during our national anthem. But, please, not today. Not on a day when we are honoring, among others, the many valiant police officers who gave their lives for others on 9-11.
