[QUOTE="bottomups, post: 3184982, member: 29452"] As many NFL fans question the patriotism of kneeling NFL players, the spotlight is now turning to the fans themselves. The Green Bay Packers handed out small American Flags during the Packers-Lions Monday Night Game, as part of the [URL='http://www.nfl.com/salute']NFL's Salute to Service Military Campaign[/URL]. "During the National Anthem, everybody was waving (their flags) and singing," Marine veteran Tegan Griffith told WTMJ. "It made me feel very good." However, by halftime, Griffith says she and her fellow veterans noticed many of the flags were discarded. "We started noticing people leaving (flags) on the ground, next to food wrappers and beer cups," Griffith explained. "We found a couple on the bathroom floor. The veterans I was with started to get a little upset." After the game, the flags were seen everywhere. "It looked like red, white, and blue confetti," described Phil Olson, a season ticker holder. "People were walking all over them. It struck me as unpatriotic." [B]I'm going to boycott the fans.[/B] [/QUOTE]
