Evans should stay in locker room

Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans should sit in the locker room. It is sad to see what is going on in this country where we have the most freedom of any country in the world. I am disgusted by the professional athletes who choose to disrespect the flag and national anthem of this great nation. After seeing what the guy on the Giants did, I no longer watched any of their games. I guess the only loss there was that I did not see any of the advertisements that were paid for.

On Sunday, I turned on the Bucs game a few minutes late and did not know of Evans sitting during the anthem. If I had seen that, I would not have watched that game. These few players forget they are employees. I respect their right to have their own opinions, but not to disrespect our flag and national anthem. The team owners and coaches should stand up for America and let these people sit in the locker room when the rest of this country is celebrating our freedom. I will not watch any more Bucs games if this disrespectful activity continues. I feel I am not alone on this issue.
