No longer a fan of the NFL and had found better things to do with my Sundays, I cant help my self but to peek and see what's up with my old team I no longer support. (The Rams) The coaches on both teams were sporting military style shirts with the American flags backwards on there sleeves? I know how much the players and management care about our police and military but a backwards flag didn't look good IMO.

Didn't see it as I don't watch NFL any more but, I have to assume they had no idea of the protocol. Let's face it, most of them aren't too bright. Physically talented yes, mental giants, no...................

Hell, I don't even know who the coaches or players are now.............. No, I don't get out much.....................

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but …
after a shooting, the problem is the gun....
Open your frigg'n minds, think about all the other tools that can be made into WMDs.

I sincerely hope that life is never discovered on another planet because, sure as hell Progressives and Socialists will want to send them money.

It's a military thing, it's signifies "always forward", the stars always face towards the front.

I need a picture. Backwards is not always backwards.

Yeah, I know. But, it's doubtful many of them ever served their country...............

It's also possible to put the flag on the wrong shoulder with the Stars to the rear.

Without seeing it, it looks like it was some sort of military appreciation.

Thanks Jim. Didn't know, but know now.

Knowing the NFL now (from news, not a watcher), I kind of think its probably meant to be derogatory. I dont see anyone in NFL, management or otherwise, showing any kind of respect for anything...except maybe themselves.

Again, I haven't seen it but in this case you're probably wrong.

I'm not a fan of the NFL period but it looks like you're looking for something to be offended about.

Triggered?
What should I do when the wind blows my flag around the lanyard and pole the opposite way?

LOL!

The NFL in general is offensive to me. The players are dirtbags, and so are the ones in charge of them. Guilt by association.

Offensive?
Oh no!!
I hate it when that happens.
Hopefully, you've found a safe space for refuge.

Yes, and the tv channels with most sports are blocked out. I just keep the ones that have auto racing. lol.Football is the worst. Its almost entirely overweight black men with no other skills other than knocking others down and throwing or catching a ball. Theyre almost all drug and alcohol users/dealers, wife/girlfriend beaters, drunk drivers, and otherwise worthless men who can barely speak english.

I'm told that many of them also have some very fast cars and drive them at exceedingly fast speeds endangering those around them.

Say it ain't so...................

Yes football is the worst sport ever, not meaning American Football, but what the rest of the world calls football. It is an elementary school activity (not a sport). (Even in elementary school we thought it was gay)

Now the NFL, WTF lets dis all of our fans, our country, and our way of life. Still better than soccer.
