Intercessor
Beloved of All
I agree with kneeling before almighty God to request his beneficence, but is that what the NFL players who refuse to salute the American Flag during the National Anthem are doing? Are they teaching prayer and repentance to Almighty God in the humility of Jesus Christ to the youth that look up to them? Are they telling their drunken fans to turn away from drugs (steroids), alcohol (Every other commercial is a beer commercial), COVETOUSNESS (Every fourth commercial has us lusting for a newer, cooler automobile) and sexual immorality (for which even high school football players are notorious, it progresses in college and is flagrant in the NFL)?
Furthermore, are those who refuse to salute the American Flag being discriminated against anyway, by being paid less money than other football players? The NFL is one of the areas that shows a person is paid by their performance, not their skin color. So could it be is just a manifestation of rebellion against authority and society that gives vent to more rage and division that they are using their prominence to forward and the news media is happy to fuel?
With all good conscience, it is the latter and not the former...This is not a prayer meeting for revival but an act of rebellion which the false news airs 24/7 in order to divide a nation against itself, so that it cannot stand (Mark 3:24, Matt 12:25). I see it as a device of the devil to further the friction in the nation. God is not the author of confusion, or a God of disorder, but of peace (1 Cor 14:33, 2 Cor 2:11). Their is no offering of Thanksgiving for the good graces God has bestowed upon them (Rom 1:21)...
I'd like to see these rebels find another country that will treat them more equitably or pay them move favorably than the U.S. Were ISIS to come to the U.S., they'd most likely renounce all and embrace the teachings of Mohamed, if some of them have not already...
Thank you for Alejandro Villanueva "who proudly wore the American flag on his military uniform during three tours in Afghanistan as an Army Ranger. He stood alone at Soldier Field, emerging as the national anthem rang out, while the rest of his team, (The Pittsburgh Steelers), stood in a dark tunnel behind him." Bless him for his "giving honor to whom honor is due" (Rom 13:7).

I will personally never watch or attend another NFL football game as long as the league allows it. They can keep their disrespect to themselves -- yes, the American Flag represents all that America has stood for until the present -- Oh, I forgot that History has been forgotten or re-written erroneously, and most people don't know it except those who lived it. I am not the only American who feels this way. MAY AMERICA BOYCOTT THE GOD OF SUNDAY FOOTBALL and go back to "keep(ing) the sabbath holy unto the Lord," (Exodus 20:8), so that pastors can teach freely from the pulpit, without worrying about "stepping on anyone's toes by going so long the congregants miss the pre-game show! Judge a tree by its fruit, Jesus said (Luke 6:44). The fruit of this is division!
