“I am deeply disappointed by the comments made by the
owner of The New England Patriots NFL Team on Sunday.
I am proud to be associated with so many American Patriots
who make such tremendous contributions in positively impacting
our country. Their efforts, help bring people together and make
our country stronger. There is no greater unifier in this country
than true patriotic freedom and unfortunately nothing more divisive
than professional sports players DISRESPECTING our country’s
National Anthem. I believe our professional sports players could
learn a lot from the lessons of American History and the importance
of working together toward the common goal of the freedom of our
citizens. Our American Patriots are intelligent, thoughtful and care
deeply about our country and I support their right to affectively
boycott any and all professional sports owners and players who
continue to DISRESPECT THIS COUNTRY.”
