Rick Monday runs into center field and takes the American flag away from protesters before they have a chance to light it on fire.

40% of the country would criticize him for this today :nono: In California, more than 50% especially if they found out what political party Monday was registered as

I assume you mean because he is a Republican.....



More of the story:

The protesters were arrested, and when Monday came up to bat in the top of the fifth inning, he received a standing ovation -- on the road. The scoreboard even flashed the message, "Rick Monday...you made a great play.""It angered me for a lot of reasons," Monday told NBC Sports in an interview to mark the anniversary of the iconic flag-saving incident. "First of all, you're interrupting the game. Secondly, now you're bringing out a flag, and I was only about three or four years removed from being in the Marine Reserves."

Monday, who had a 19-year Major League Baseball career and currently works in the Dodgers broadcast booth, still has the flag. He and his wife take it around the country to raise money for military charities.Monday said of his legacy: "It's a good thing I did get it, because I did not want any of my former drill instructors from the Marine Corps to come and say, ?Hey Marine! Why did you stand there and watch when they ignited the American flag??"<strike></strike>

Black people are often referred to as "Mondays".


Everyone hates Mondays.

and until 2 weeks ago you never heard anything about KATE SMITH. We live in a different time, which was my original point. The RICK MONDAY story, if it happened today, would be viewed as a political story when it wasn't in 1976, or 86. or 96, or 06.......Parts of America today, the flying of the same flag Rick Monday protected is questioned. I think you are proving my "sarcastic" statement.

Legend!
