The first African-American to receive the Medal of Honor in the Civil War was Sgt. William Harvey Carney who, despite being shot in the face, shoulder, arms, and legs, refused to let the American flag touch the ground.

Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded to date, 1,522 were awarded during the American Civil War.

What's that got to do with a NFL locker room.

The anti American kneelers...in the NFL...I'm guessing

Get'm taught That thatbefore they reach the NFL and where they're being taught that anti-American B. College campus!

I am amazed at the number of people who still watch football. I am not one of them. The only thing I do not understand is why is why John Doe public has to pay for a place for them to play.

Well if you were watching you would have noticed that no one has been kneeling for the anthem for years since Capernick got the boot, and half of the players are doing the Trump happy dance in the endzone now, but keep on hating.

Weather you agree or not, kneeling is a constitutionally protected right. It's un-American of you to want that taken away. You absolutely don't have to agree, but you can't have it only one way. Protesting isn't un-American, it's just the opposite. Many countries don't have that right. It's just another thing that makes this the best country in the world. Even better than Canada bocco. Lol

Kneelers need kicked in the sack .....every time ...100%

Yeah, and many Medals of Honor were awarded to the men who killed women and children at wounded knee, forever tarnishing the award.

Exactly why I refuse to watch a single second of any professional sports.

That is correct, but also includes the writings on the back of their helmets too. If I owned a team the only writing on the back would be the team's name. I own the equipment and should be allowed to what's displayed on it.

Let's see the article you got this information from please.

Do a google search. Plenty of resources.

Here's one of many.

Yep just keep judging the last by present standards. It was war, the winners write history.

Why is that? Are you saying that in war people don't kill people and that people don't get killed? You can't take the norms of the day and transpose them on the norms of yesterday. Many things that were acceptable and the norm in years past are no longer acceptable today and vice versa.

I don't think killing women and children has ever been an acceptable norm.

So is what you are saying , the standards of which the MoH is awarded is/was different than today ? For our sake I hope so. It took much bravery to surround a bunch of mostly unarmed men, women, and children and gun them down, because they were practicing their culture when the USA was not at war. I believe 17 MoH were awarded that day, imo a disgrace.

Have the standards to receive the MoH changed ? What war is that you are talking about ? Native Americans were all but neutered and on reservations in the 1890’s.
Much of history written by the winners is bs.
