text: I am no pro-sports fan. I think Football is a ridiculous game and the national obsession with it insane and damaging to culture. Having said that,  I can defend the Bronco players and any others for taking a stand for something they felt strongly about. I'm not going to validate or invalidate their reasoning, but I support the Constitution and I support their right to protest. I am getting tired of vets, and so-called vet supporters trying to turn everything they don't like into a statement of disrespect against the soldiers who fought and died for us. Many of the vets went into the service because there were no other jobs, or for benefits or because they were drafted and had no other choice. Many fought valiantly, anyway, but not everyone came out a hero. And they didn't fight for the flag. They fought for the Constitution. If they don't know the difference, then they don't know what they were fighting for. This protest was what they fought for and they should be proud.
