Taking Their Ball And Going Home

Some New Jersey high school football players took a knee during the anthem. Two of the referees, a father-and-son combo, reacted by walking off the field. The stuff the dad says is a prime example of not understanding what the anthem and flag represent -- it's the usual "disrespect" combined with decrying what the protest is about without even understanding what it's about ("if you don't like America, then leave") -- but it's also pretty meatheaded in that the protestors don't refuse to play, while these refs DID refuse to do their jobs.
