A U.S. Marine Corps Veteran from Jupiter is sharing his feelings about the National Anthem protests around the league.
JUPITER, Fla. (CBS12) — Respect and honor at all times for the flag. That's what Jason Keating, a Marine from Jupiter, believes.
He doesn't agree with players kneeling at the flag during the national anthem. Keating understands that athletes have the right to voice their opinions and and beliefs. However, he believes there are many less offensive ways for both the players and owners to make a statement.
Here’s more on Pres. Trump’s comments regarding the protests.
President Trump stepped up his Twitter criticism of the NFL on Monday morning, while praising NASCAR and its fans for not “disrespecting our Country” -- as the president's feud with the sports world took yet another turn.
Unlike many NFL players who locked arms, kneeled or even stayed in their locker rooms during the national anthem, NASCAR drivers did not protest "The Star-Spangled Banner" during their Cup Series race in New Hampshire this weekend.
“So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans. They won’t put up with disrespecting our Country or our Flag –they said it loud and clear!” Trump tweeted Monday morning.
