I have made a personal resolution to never watch another professional football game, either live or on television, because of the apparent lack of respect for our nation and its flag shown by the NFL and its employees, players and coaches. I find the juvenile, violent, and abusive behavior of these so-called "heroes" towards whom the youth of our nation look for inspiration to be abhorrent and I will not support it.
While I believe it is appropriate for these people to express their own personal beliefs I believe I am justified in expressing my contempt for those decisions. I am not naive enough to think my personal decision to boycott the NFL, its broadcasting partners, distributors, and any other person or organization that may support the NFL will much affect them, it does have an effect on me.
I am extremely supportive of our nation, its flag, Constitution, Pledge of Allegiance, and Declaration of Independence. I will gladly support those people, organizations, companies and churches that reflect my personal belief and I accept the responsibility to reject those who do not. I understand our nation is under siege politically and spiritually and I will not permit that deviance affect my life. I will vote for those whom I believe will unashamedly lead our nation within the concepts of the Title of Liberty. It is time for our people to acknowledge and revere that Supreme Being that inspired the establishment of our nation and encourage our people to return to the habit of prayer and supplication.
It is time to teach our children that the only true path to peace and happiness is through the efforts of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is time that we collectively accept the concepts found in the Scriptures and live by those concepts.
