Del Haven - Trump railed against unpatriotic football players on Twitter, then VP Pence walked out of a game in protest, and now a Republican Indiana state legislator (Milo Smith) has introduced a bill that would allow fans to request a refund from the Colts if football players continue to kneel and show disrespect for our nation. Indiana is now leading the way on this hot-button social issue, and New Jersey must now follow suit at the Meadowlands with the Jets and the Giants. I think Trump and the Republicans are showing that patriotism must be above free speech rights to make America great again.

Moderator's Note: 
Some who are quite patriotic may disagree with your conclusion about the relationship between patriotism and free speech.
