    If you were at least a high-schooler in 1968, you were aware of this act of protest. I don't know where most adults stood on the act at the time, but in light of the events of 1967, the Tet offensives earlier in 68 in Vietnam and the changes in American attitudes about the war that year, I think many of us saw a world becoming unhinged but necessarily so. I've often thought of this picture over the years. The older I get, the more I respect their act.

    Dolphins and Saints have the early London game.

    I think three Dolphins knelt for the anthem. All of the Saints knelt before the anthem and stood for it.

    I quit watching baseball when rhe spoiled infant players went on strike. Now, I'm tired of all this self-serving hypocritical BS and am refusing to add to the players obscenely bloated paychecks by EVER watching football again. I will do my best to put this new free time to GOOD use.

    So, you would still be fine adding to their obscenely bloated paychecks if they saluted the flag?

    If I'm losing my interest in the NFL game, it's because it's no longer the game that I like to watch. Instead of it being the unapologetic slugfest/chess match that I used to love, it's become sanitized for our protection.

    I have not turned on the boob tube today. Way to nice outdoors. Getting the fire wood picked up/stacked and working on the 1971 Buick Riviera restoration for my SIL.......just music from the noise box. No news. No mindless spin. Just the boys in the driveway working on a really cool old car.

    Alpo....I was 18 when the fist pump at the Olympics took place. The world was spinning pretty hard then as it is right now.

    As American's all, a lot was learned from that time. Until 8 years ago, when the president that was supposed to unite us actually chose to divide.
