That good but he should stand and salute the flag of the country which provides to him the freedoms and security to win this award.
So he should give up his Constitutional Rights to receive an award given by a private entity?
You give this country to much credit. All they're doing for Kenny is taking a fat *** chunk of money from him in taxes.
People need to quit pretending like our government or politicians give two ***** about us anymore.
Don't care about his award or the private entity. I think it's a shame that he has to even consider that it's 'giving up' his rights to pay tribute to his country. Such as it is these days.
Standing, or taking a knee in his case, for what he believes is what this country was founded on. It is what my father and brother both fought for.
The sad part of it is that this country has gotten to the point that he feels this way. I blame this on our current divider in chief...
There is a lot of blame that can go around. But one ALWAYS has the choice of doing what is the right thing to do. He knows he's going against his on beliefs and has said as much. I give him no credence. IMO, he's taking the wrong stand.
I think he's taking the wrong knee, personally. I don't agree with his stance, or lack of one for that matter, but I'll never deny him that right.
And as far as what he believes in, he acts on it, which is why he received this award. Unlike Collin Kaepernick, he does things to help those that are less fortunate...
I get what you are saying and yes, politics is a disease but we do have the luxury of the freedoms awarded to us from our history...however you may feel about that history...
