Never been to Fat Tuesday but now I have to go and eat there.  I'm a minority Air Force Veteran and I can tell you I have not watched a single NFL game due to the sitting and kneeling.  Do we have social issues in our country to resolve?  You damn right!  Have I experienced racism in the past being a minority?  Yes.  But my approach is I'm just going to outwork them and sure enough things worked out pretty well.  But please for a couple of minutes let's show some unity during the playing of the anthem and flag!  This is one of the times we can all unite for something and be proud of the opportunities available in this country if you work hard, pray hard and study hard!
