Taking A Knee Against America
Dr. Richard Moss, Candidate for Congress,
Condemns the NFL Players and Owners
Jasper, Indiana. Dr. Richard Moss, candidate for Congress, condemned the actions of NFL players and owners for “taking a knee†during the national anthem. He, like millions of Americans, is offended by the lack of respect shown by the coddled millionaire athletes of the NFL.
“These millionaire players have no appreciation for their country and how lucky they are. They live in the lap of luxury in the greatest country in the world, earn millions every year playing a game, and enjoy a lifestyle they could never have anywhere else.â€
“The singing of the national anthem before sporting events is an American tradition that we have enjoyed for more than a hundred years, dating back to World War I. It is an American custom to put politics aside before a game and pay homage to our flag and country. When football players ‘take a knee,’ they dishonor the flag and the country it represents. They dishonor the millions of patriotic Americans who love their country and are fans of the NFL. And they dishonor the millions of Americans who have served in the military and sacrificed to preserve our rights, and the police who protect us daily in our communities.â€
“I’ve got news for the pampered, uneducated millionaires – you are not victims and you are not oppressed. You are among the most privileged people on earth. I agree with President Trump that it would be the right thing for the owners to fire these players.â€
“It is not a free speech issue. The NFL banned teams from honoring five murdered Dallas cops and 9/11 victims. If players want to pray on the field before a game they would not be allowed. Free speech is protected, it seems, only when it promotes a leftist, anti-American agenda.â€
“Patriotic Americans are tired of being insulted by Hollywood movie stars, fake media, late night comedians, and now by millionaire narcissist athletes who don’t appreciate how good they have it in this country. They have had enough of the left politicizing everything including football games.â€
“If players are entitled to free speech then so are Americans who honor their flag and country. Patriotic Americans have a right to criticize them and to stop going to their games, watching them on TV, or buying the products of their sponsors. Take a page from the left and boycott them. Its time to defend our culture and traditions and stand up for America.â€

The players are not protesting their plight but the plight of those less fortunate that are profiled by police. I know it is hard for a pampered Doctor raised in a county that until recently had no ethnic groups but just because it isn’t raining in Jasper doesn’t mean it isn’t raining elsewhere in this country.
You don’t allow facts to get in the way of your posting, do you? What is your definition of “recently”? There has been a number of minorities in Dubois county for years, approximately 8% of the population, which is large for such a small and rural area. And a Jewish doctor in an overwhelmingly Catholic community is not exactly part of the status quo. The millionaire pampered athletes were disrespecting the men and women who serve and those who gave their lives defending the flag and country the pampered players are demeaning, just as you are.
