Love Angel but I’m not a big fan of sports leagues promoting anything on their uniforms except the team name and number.

Angel gets it.... She represents UofL well....

Angel has always been a very strong supporter of UofL Athletics. As far as jerseys and what they say on the back, I'm in favor of whatever the athlete and team feels comfortable about.

Having an American flag on the uniform is a political statement.

Having an American flag on the uniform is a political statement.

You are kidding right? Please tell me you are kidding.

 

[fredburgcard]

No I’m not kidding. I fly the US flag on my home. I served in the US Army under the flag. Those are political statements. In a free country people should be free to make political statements.
I certainly have no problem with Angel making a political statement regardless of whether I or anybody else disagrees with her.

 

[Bardman]

Don’t see how the flag is a political statement. It’s called national pride. Wearing your personal message about political/socio-economic issues IS political. Plus. I’m not saying I am opposed to her doing this. Lastly, no need to talk about serving under the flag - I did as well for 20 years.
