I have never been to an Astros game when they didnt play it. During the Anthem, all of the display screens have the flag waving. You can view which ever one is convenient for your seat location. -
Probably because one was against state law and the other isn't?Originally posted by bloodstick View PostComment

Great game to be at. Verlander is a stud. Crazy to hear you say this, Stros are usually very patriotic. So, the flag poles in left field didn't have the Texas Flag or Astros flag flying either? Just 3 empty poles there?Originally posted by WItoTX View PostComment

It doesn't. Which is why that state law was in line with the 14th Amendment as SCOTUS has interpreted it.Originally posted by bloodstick View PostComment

This is all the left wants...people arguing over whether players should stand for the national anthem or not.
Meanwhile, none of these so-called protestors, BLM members or anyone else for that matter want to discuss the real issues. The issues are much deeper than cops having more problems dealing with black people; that's more a side effect of the problem. Nobody wants to talk about the real problems in these black communities. You know, things like the lack of nuclear family structures, majority of children being born out of wedlock, dependence on gov't programs, dead beat dads, etc.
Heck, look at some of these millionaire athletes. Many of them even have children out of wedlock with multiple women. It's almost like it's a badge of honor for some of them.Comment

Some were protesting racial inequality....Trump says in a speech or tweet that the owners should fire those "Son's of B*tches" for disrespecting our flag and national anthem.Originally posted by DWC View Post

I didn’t hear the exact quote from trump. But this is what I have found.
Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners — when somebody disrespects our flag — to say, 'Get that son of a b*tch off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired!'"
There isn’t much to this besides what he would like to see and a what if! Interviews with players made it seem like what he had said was a personal attack on them. I could be missing more but to me it seems the NFL and media has blown this out of proportion as usual. They are almost triple dog daring playing players to take a knee for this. It was brought up and talked about in every game and every highlight show.
Sunday night football almost made it out to be a huge surprise of what’s next during the anthem, as we wait to see who stands and who doesn’t.
To me it almost seems like it’s going to get worse before getting better.
