No but he went ballistic over it publicly and put a ton of pressure on the owners and commissioner Roger Goodell, as well as causing his base to throw a massive hissy fit. Prior to him opening his trap is was a pretty mild back burner story.

And yes, he took a knee 5 times when was asked to serve the country he so loves to go one and on about these days.

It wasn't honor. From what we know of the guys' history he's not a man of honor. It was the silver spoon boy/man being scared ****-less about going.

I'd be scared shitless to go to war.. I don't think it's fair to throw not wanting to die in anyone's face.

Sounds like a good way to get out of going to war. My method is foolproof so long as I don't go on a diet.

If you subtracted Qwerty from Batlord you'd have Batlord's blue balls.

Whatever the motivation, he avoided becoming a war crimibal so the outcome is solid imo. Joining the military isn't something that we should pretend is noble.
