    I am afraid that the President will call for a boycott of Houston's baseball team...

    I don't even think there are 50 stars in that bikini to count as a flag. That could be the malaysia flag for all i know.

    Nah, clearly the American flag that Josh Reddick was wearing in that beer bukkake scene.

    well to be fair, this isn't part of an anthem ceremony. It is part of a series win celebration.

    not taking a position either way, but this is not really an apples to apples comparison.

    Wrapping your dick and balls in the flag is "modern" patriotic.

    I bought an American flag because I'm about to sell my house. Apparently people like to buy houses with flags.

    While I am happy for my lifelong Astros, wearing any form of the flag as clothing is the ultimate disrespect to those who have died for it.

    Not even kidding. Make it stop, Kid Rock and the rest. Kneeling is nothing compared to this crap, and I've had many family members in war for this country.

    It's technically illegal. No one care that it's illegal, but let's #MAGA and care again!

    (d)The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general

    I agree, it's a bit disrespectful. Unless it's a bikini on a hot chick. But otherwise, it's too flip an appropriation.

    True American Patriot unlike the idiot Kap who's protest did nothing but hurt his cause. Kap should have played well and became an All-Pro then deliver his message would have been well received. Instead a shitty player, who didn't put in the work, pisses super patriotic Americans with his method or protest. Now his message is lost and he likely set his community back even further. What a MORON!!! Players should do what they do best and let the professional activists do what they do best. Just support the folks who know what they are doing instead of leading the line because Kap is too stupid to do it.

    No homo or anything but Reddick is sexy.
