I usually do not send in my opinion concerning various issues, even though I may have one. But this time, I must respond.

I cannot forget the way Colin Kaepernick, the former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers was treated, in addition to other NFL players, for silently kneeling in protest during the national anthem.

I can’t believe how people are forgetting the way actress Roseanne Barr sang the national anthem at the Major League Baseball game in 1990 and then grabbed her crotch at the end. Now she is getting praise and high ratings for her new television show — even from President Trump.

If the segment of Ms. Barr doing an injustice to the national anthem is shown as a reminder, I wonder if people would boycott her show and have it taken off the air?
