To be frank, when I see the American flag I don't feel anything, it's just another flag, like that of the Chines and the Russians. When I read our constitution, however, I feel joy, proud and appreciative. Point is flags are not as important as ideas and people shouldn't get their panties twisted in a bunch over them.

Saden, I really like what you have contributed to The Warpath over the years when we have had discusions about our beloved Redskins. But pal, you have really disappointed me with some of the things that you have posted about in this thread. I assume that you were joking when you said that you hold your crotch when you hear the National Anthem. I don't really know what you were trying to accomplish by saying such idiotic things, but that statement did nothing constructive to help describe your defense for yourself or for J. Howard.

As a person who proudly wore a uniform in the U.S. Marine Corps, I look at the flag and this country alot deferently than you. Even though that you think you were being funny or cute when you said that you grabbed your crotch during the National Anthem, I most certainly did not. I think it is truly sad that you feel that way and that you feel comfortable even saying things like that. It really comes across as you being a smart-ass, and I know that you are way smarter than that. I'm sure that you and others would call me out for saying anything like racially insensitive, and I would expect that. I also expected you to choose a better way to make your point than that.

I'm sure that you and I could go to FedEx, and stand next to each other, and cheer on our Skins and never know about where we stand on the politcal spectrum. But to me, it's God and country first, and always.
