And there are others if you want to find them on your own.
All this shows is the degree of jingoism and racial animosity still present in America. It still puzzles me how people get incensed about an inanimate piece of cloth being "disrespected" (by athletes silently and legally taking a knee (when kneeling heretofore has been viewed as a respectful gesture)) while supporting a draft-dodger when he criticizes John McCain and a Gold Star family. All this shows is that Trump is able to exacerbate racial divisions in this country and that there are people stupid enough to buy into his throwing of red meat.
