Marshawn Lynch Stood For Mexico, The Afghanistan Of North America

Ingrate of the Year
"The progressives at GQ felt that Colin Kaepernick was the most important citizen of the year, but his disrespect of the flag, nation and the men and woman who defend it is disgusting. His real reward should have been Ingrate of the Year." CDN

Someone Should Tell Marshawn Lynch A Thing Or Two About Mexican Police  "Lynch stood for the Mexican national anthem and sat for the U.S. national anthem when he was in Mexico for a game. And he’s obviously pretty ignorant about how Mexican police treat people.
In perhaps the most crystallized example of uninformed activism, Marshawn Lynch actually protested police brutality by standing for the Mexican national anthem and sitting for The Star Spangled Banner.
Apparently, Mr. Lynch hasn’t heard much about Mexican police.
His dissonant display was the moral equivalent of an everyday liberal protesting fascism while wearing a Che Guevara shirt. Newsflash: Guevara was a totalitarian, mass murderer. Breaking: Lynch is about as privileged as they get in America. Reminder: Mexico is the Afghanistan of North America.
I think, like the liberal activists sporting the Che shirt, Lynch and pretty much everyone on the political left need a reminder just what they stand for when they stand for Mexico.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s party, Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), is best known for setting up the “Federal Security Directorate,” a modern day Gestapo, meant to internally suppress militant revolutionaries. Instead, they terrorized Mexican citizens. Later iterations of the group, called “white guards,” were found to have detained, tortured, and executed hundreds of “students, laborers, peasant farmers or teachers,” The New York Times reports.

The NFL Players Union needs some leadership, tool  . . . "Let's talk about Marshawn Lynch, the Raiders' running back, who did something totally indefensible in Mexico City:    

President Donald Trump took to Twitter to criticize Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch early Monday morning.
After photographs surfaced showing Lynch standing during the Mexican national anthem and sitting during the US national anthem at a game against the New England Patriots in Mexico City on Sunday, Trump called for his suspension.
"Marshawn Lynch of the NFL's Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down," he tweeted.  . . .
