Jets Fan Who Stands For National Anthem Sits On American Flag

Samer Kalaf
Yesterday 3:38pm

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.

I once had a neighbor -- moved! yay! -- who put an illegal 6 foot by 9 foot McCain/Palin sign on his porch. For July 4th, he and his friends stood out on the sidewalk and tried to hit passing cyclists with an American flag, assuming that everyone in our extremely blue little town (87.5% Hillary) would be horrified.

At one point they began using it as a mock penis. I wish I'd photographed that.
