I always try to give as much detail as possible because my attorney buddy says the more detail a person can provide the more likely it is he or she is telling the truth. I'm in the sauna talking to this guy from Philadelphia about Philadelphia and sportspeople from Philadelphia or who had a connection to the city. Sports and politics are my passions. I mention the fictional Rocky. He said Stallone is from N.J. i politely point out Stallone is from Flushing, Queens. I then mention Kobe Bryant is from Philadelphia and lived in a home Muhammad Ali and his family once lived in during his boxing days. I also mentioned Joe Frazier was from Phili by way of Beaufort and the guy mentions he is from there too and Joe is a third cousin.
Any way this other guy says what do you guys think of Trump saying Anthem kneelers should be kicked out of the country. I mention Colin Kaepernick was doing his little thing and it wasn't a big issue until Trump made it so. I also said Chris Long is a kneeler but he gets a pass because he's a star. Then the Trumpee said to guy that broached the topic that "I come here and you're always talking about politics". Wow. The anti-Trumpee then said he has Rams season tickets and doesn't stand for the anthem and he's the most patriotic guy around. The Trumpee then questioned his patriotism.
Oh, the guy said he gets a lot of grief for not standing. What's up with that ? It's a free country. The kneeler has as much right as the stander.
That's when I left and wished everybody a nice weekend.
Trump is the most divisive president our republic has suffered.

They are nothing unless they can get in someone's face and yell.
