NFL Player Protests During the National Anthem

The protests by professional athletes is kind of ridiculous. Not respecting the american flag just because you do not like your president is ridiculous.

Winter Hawk Star is a very good book about hockey. It is a short book, but it is a series of books called orca sports. I have read a couple and they were all very good, they are all roughly the same.
