Jets Fan Who Stands For National Anthem Sits On American Flag

[kpete]

And he drinks beer with a straw!


THIS man at Sunday’s Patriots-Jets game respects the United States and its national anthem so much that he turned the country’s flag into a picnic blanket. Reader Marshall spotted the patriot, who is better than all of us, at the Jets’ stadium.

A little more detail:

Basically, me and my friend were walking around the stadium sometime during the 3rd quarter. There is a huge tv screen by the food carts right inside the stadium where people gather to watch. We went over there to check it out and we saw him spread the flag out and sit down.

I thought it was too ironic so I snagged a picture. He sat on it for a few minutes before leaving.

A true American.

1. Well, at least he's not taking a KNEE on that flag!

Other than that, I have NO words..................

[Achilleaze]

2. Ewwww! No wonder the Patriots won

3. They don't love the red, white, and blue as much as they hate the black.

5. +1

4. I don't know what country he's from

But we 'Muricans don't take kindly to assholes sitting on our flag. Deport his ass!

9. So I think his shirt says...

"I stand for the National Anthem", yet he sits on the American Flag? You have to wonder whats going though his brain that he would do that... its certainly not respect.

[King_Klonopin]

13. What brain?

People like him have no true self-awareness at all, no ability to be
self-critical -- just a deluded and inflated self-image which feeds an
insecure, fragile ego.

He's not sitting on the flag; he is caressing it lovingly with his ass cheeks.

15. Air in his head

From drinking beer thru a straw

[yuiyoshida]

17. It may not be true but

I heard that it gets you drunk, faster. I have never tried it but if it works, it works, I guess.

[Gothmog]

10. A typical deplorable idiot

[maveric]

11. He can't help it.

He's a disillusioned Jets fan.

[Mr. Evil]

12. Nothing says 'respect' more than wearing a shirt that states

"I stand for the National Anthem" while sitting on an American flag and assassinating it with beer farts.

[HughBeaumont]

14. You know he unleashed an SBD or two . . . on the flag . . .

[bathroommonkey76]

16. The straw in the beer pisses me off more. n/t

[TheBlackAdder]

19. True. It's piss beer. They should have been using a catheter.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. He's just breaking wind to see if the flag goes straight.

21. Are we sure this is real?

Besides a few edit clues, like the harsh line where legs meet flag, it just seems too ludicrous to be true. Why would he have to spread it out on what appears to be Astroturf?

I wouldn't put anything beyond the hypocrisy of the rabid right and their inability to recognize irony, but I'll reserve my tsk tsk finger until Snopes has a look.

On edit:

Okay. I checked Snopes and this moran actually does have the significant supply of balls to disrespect the flag while wearing that shirt. Add irony to the list of things Trump has killed. KnR

24. Is it a beach towel?

It's a stupid thing to do.

[DorothyG]

28. Very odd - a beach blanket or fake photo? Why bring what appears to be an antique 48 star flag?

50 star flags have star rows of 6 5 6 5 6 5 6 5 6. This flag has stars in a grid pattern which would likely be 6 x 8.

[Iggo]

29. He's sitting on the flag.

656...

6x8...

Don't matter.

[aidbo]

22. Nearly related.

[maddiemom]

25. Priceless!

One picture definitely worth a thousand words in this case. Someone needs to make a t-shirt of this. (can you use the guy w/o his permission if you can't see his face)?

[ExciteBike66]

26. Better that than getting fake-grass stains on your black pants....

Jets suck, go Pats! Lol!

27. He'll claim it's the flag protecting his ass.
