I pretty much nailed the attitude of most of the people upset about the whole flag thing. Once their "the troops hurrdurr" excuse got deflected away they got quiet, but that's pretty much the real motivation. It was the same thing when Richard Sherman and the Seahawks were outspoken about Marshawn Lynch not wanting to talk to the media or being hypocritical in other ways like endorsing alcohol but then fining players for drinking and shit, they called them "thugs" and basically said they should stay in their places. All throughout the twitter and news article comments and all that shit it was there unfiltered too
