How to defuse the national anthem issue

Intelligencer Journal - 9/28/2017

As a Navy, Vietnam War veteran and an NFL fan, I believe I have an answer to the national anthem problem. First, no, I do not like the attitude of the millionaires who disrespect our country. I don’t like it, but they have their rights. So, here is what I suggest.

One, perform the national anthem before TV comes on the air. Two, just turn the cameras to the sky, to where the spirit of those who gave all are. Or, three, tell players to stay in the locker rooms if they will be kneeling (or whatever) to keep the dignity of the anthem.
