BREAKING NEWS Out Of NASCAR… They Just Put The NFL To SHAME

In contrast to the scumbags in the NFL who refuse to pay respect to our country, the military, law enforcement and America in general, the “Star-Spangled Banner” is never protested by members of the NASCAR community at ANY of their events.
When you watch NASCAR you will NOT see any one taking a knee or wearing anti police socks or shirts. You will see smiling, proud Americans who love their country and they show their respect %100 of the time.
Several team owners issued a strict warning to their drivers and crew members in the wake of both comments by President Trump and the protests by NFL players.
Team owner Richard Petty, the NASCAR icon who won a record-tying seven championships as a driver, said he would fire any employee that didn’t stand for the anthem.
“Anybody that don’t stand up for that ought to be out of the country. Period,” Petty said. “If they don’t appreciate where they’re at … what got them where they’re at? The United States.”
Additionally, longtime owner Richard Childress said that any driver or crew member protest will “get [them] a ride on a Greyhound bus.”
“Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people gave our lives for it. This is America,” Childress said.
An executive at Team Penske told USA Today that they currently have “no policy” on the issue because it has never come up for them.
To this day, most NASCAR races still start with an invocation from a local preacher, a rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and often a flyover from a local military installation, Fox News reports.
Both Petty and NASCAR CEO Brian France endorsed Trump in 2016.
Also, NASCAR stands with the NRA.
NASCAR is standing firm with the National Rifle Association as more than a dozen companies cut ties with the organization in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
FOX News reports that Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn. announced it would be keeping the NRA as a co-sponsor of its annual “night race.”
The 0.533-mile track, a few miles south of the Virginia state line, hosts two NASCAR races per year in addition to several other events.
“This has been a good, long-standing partnership and we plan to continue,” speedway management said in a statement to USA Today.
In a 2015 press release announcing the sponsorship, Bristol Motor Speedway executive vice president and general manager Jerry Caldwell touted the agreement as a “well-suited partnership” because the three entities involved — Bass Pro Shops, the NRA and NASCAR — share the same customers.
NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, who is now the first vice president of the NRA, also described the sponsorship as a strong match.
“Racing fans and NRA members treasure their freedom and outdoor heritage, and the Night Race is where we go to celebrate that love of freedom, love of the shooting sports, and love of the great outdoors,” Childress said in a statement at the time.
NRA First Vice President Richard Childress is also a NASCAR team owner and former driver.
NASCAR previously drew criticism for allowing the NRA to sponsor a Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway in 2013, just four months after the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
I’ll admit that I have boycotted the NFL ever since that Muslim cop hater Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench like an entitled little punk but I cheated because I did watch the Superbowl which I was required to so I could report on the halftime show… Ok, I watched the fricking game because my Patriots were playing!
But I refused to watch any other games as a part of my personal boycott.
This year I am boycotting 100%- PERIOD.
SCREW THOSE OVERPAID A HOLES.

That post garnered over 72,000 shares and was featured in an article on FOX NEWS as well as many other large news outlets.
The reports were not always flattering but we tell it like it is and if they don’t like it, they can screw themselves.
It’s probably on Snopes- they have disputed a lot of the articles I wrote on Americas Freedom Fighters.
The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the NFL League Rulebook. It states:
