Alot of the folks who've played ball weren't going to live long healthy lives. The only difference between getting signed and not getting signed..in that regard, is that they've got millions of dollars.
As regards the OP....the shoeburners don't seem particularly patriotic or very american, to me..as a hyper patriotic american, lol. They're protesting too, I guess....but I doubt that Nike gives a shit.....and they're kindof on the wrong side of the protest line, lol. I like to vent too, especially about shit like this when the whole "disrespecting our troops" trope is carted out. I wonder why any of us ever bled for these dumb fuckers. Then, I remember, that unlike these faux patriots...when people are shooting my fellow americans I have their back, and not the shooters, because they're americans.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
