Patriot fans tell the Patriot players who took a knee what they think of them

Boston is a patriotic place – this is the area of the country where the “Shot heard ’round the world” was fired when the British Redcoats were sent to disarm the colonials.  A ragtag militia of 70 odd ordinary male citizens stood up to a mass of 700 British regulars – the finest army in the world of that time.  We take our heritage seriously, and we take our flag and our national anthem just as seriously.  While Pats fans are rabid in their devotion to their team, last Sunday they showed that they have a greater loyalty – in the long line established by those in Concord/Lexington who were willing to stand (and fall) to secure our liberty.

Yes, the Pats fans want to watch their team, again, rabidly. But for the lying MSM and the SJWs arguing that they are just racists and that there is no other reason for not joining #BendTheKnee, their blindness to the Goodness of this country blinds them. Given a choice of joining with those that hate their Normal traditions or throwing in with the flag, the option doesn’t even exist: there will be no disrespecting of the Flag and what it means.  They all know that we aren’t perfect – but that perfection is unattainable.  Throwing this political dart into their faces after they have paid what for many is a considerable sum of money is RESENTED highly.  They rightfully expect their teams, here in Boston, to live up to the hard working blue collar work ethics this area’s sports teams have acquired – just like them.

They see the Elites bashing them all day long, all week long, all the time.  Sports was their refuge from it, and now the Left has infiltrated it like a virus, and they RESENT it.  That was on full display at the beginning of the game.  The team’s management had better take notice because time is discretionary and sports is a discretionary expenditure.  Keep throwing that SJW anti-Normal at their faces and their core, you will exacerbate the speed in which the “tune outs’ will occur.

Is this a tipping point in time?  Dunno.  But the pushback is either starting (or continuing, depending on your viewpoint).  As my high school Principal used to say every morning “forewarned is forearmed.”
