Bill O’Reilly: It Must Be Painful for Soldiers in Afghanistan To See NFL Players Disrespect the Flag

‘Can you imagine how painful that was?’

RUSH EXCERPT:
O'REILLY: "I know some people -- people are angry about the NFL because the much bigger story than football players. I want to address this comment to the NFL players today and they'll get this. When the Jaguars and Ravens were over in London and they kneeled down on a foreign soil and then they stood up for the British national anthem. I was angry and sad because I don't believe those players know what they are doing. About 3,000 miles east of you there are American military people in Kandahar, Afghanistan, whose entertainment revolves around the Armed Forces network that broadcasts football games. I was over there in seven. I watched football games with them. Can you imagine putting your life on the line in Afghanistan and having just the leisure time and wanting the watch a football game and seeing your players, your American players, disrespect the country and the flag on foreign soil. Can you imagine how painful that was?"
