Saints players and other key sports and public figures are angry at Drew Brees for his anthem comments

But the flag issue does push people apart. Wouldn't it be smarter to eliminate that issue and find a better way? I'm all for stopping injustice of any kind, but lets leave the anthem and the flag out of it. Think how strong we could be if we were able to get past an issue that divides us.

I also wonder for those who think taking away the whole national anthem before games thing is unthinkable -- are they just as adamant about making schools stand for the pledge of allegiance again?

I don't know, man. I love this country more than any other, but I get a sense of contrived nationalism sometimes from all this.
