Maroon Five saluted; respect the flag

- M.L. Lowry

Maroon Five was very brave to perform at the Super Bowl (in light of complaints bands should be in sync with NFL protesters). Almost no one supports brutality against black or white by the police or anyone else. NFL players made their choice when they took the knee. Their cause is good, but they chose the wrong way. Our American flag flies for everyone, so all should stand and respect our thousands of veterans who defended our country from dictatorsh­ip and death. Thousands of our vets didn’t come home from World War I, World War II and all wars.

Please find another way to honor your people. Please don’t ask us to respect the cause over our beautiful flag and our very brave vets. Don’t ask everyone to join the NFL in protesting. We all respect our flag and vets and our democratic country.
