"TURN OFF EVERY BIT OF ENTERTAINMENT THAT IS AGAINST OUR AMERICAN WAY "

NFL Veteran: ‘Turn Off Every Bit of Entertainment That Is Against Our American Way’

Ownes won a Super Bowl with the Oakland Raiders in 1980.

“Americans are standing up and doing the right thing” by turning off National Football League (NFL) games if the league won’t respect the National Anthem, says Burgess Owens, a ten-year NFL veteran who won a Super Bowl with the Oakland Raiders.

Owens, who played safety for the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets over his NFL career (1973-82), is now an author and a co-host of the Conservative Commandos radio show. In an interview with CNSNews.com on the program, Owens said the liberal-run league has gone “too far” by allowing Anthem protests. He voiced support for the Media Research Center’s campaign to boycott NFL games, and said television viewers should turn off all anti-American programs:

“We have to be strong. This is the one area, this is a bridge too far. They’ve taken away God out of the public venue, they’ve destroyed the Black community, the Black family, they’ve taken away our history – this is a bridge too far when want to take away the pride in our country.

“So, Americans are standing up and doing the right thing. We’re going to turn off every bit of entertainment that is against our American way. And, they will eventually pick up on it by the dollars that’s not coming to them, anymore.

“Maybe, even a Congress who can get them off the public dole. Enough time of the billionaires to be getting subsidized from tax dollars - enough.”

A boycott of all anti-American content will prompt the NFL to stop trying to push socialism on the American public, Owens said:

“So, if we start doing the things we need to do, believe me, they will find their way back to capitalism instead of trying to get us to get into socialism.”

Owens full comment is presented below.

"Exactly. The American flag – and thank goodness I grew up in an area where seventy percent of black men were doing what they’re supposed to do: they were in the home, teaching, mentoring, disciplining, making sure we respected women – they were doing all the right things.

"They had just returned from World War II, my dad did, and they believed. I would walk to school early, five miles away, and learned to raise and lower the flag, and was taught never let it touch the ground or be desecrated. So, it was a different era.

"And, I think it’s now time for us to recognize that it’s about hope. This whole concept, this whole conversation about hope. Do we give our kids hope that, yes, tomorrow’s a better day – and, yes, if I can do it, you can do it?

"Or, do we allow the communists and the socialists and the Marxists to take over and give them hopelessness? There’s a reason why, in the black community, for the eight years, there’s not been any conversation about the hopelessness of our community.

"The fact is, we represent only thirteen percent of our country’s population, but forty percent of violent crime is committed by young, Black Americans. There is hopelessness that the Obama Administration and the Left is not going to point to. Instead, they point to racism – other people being racist. We’re sick and tired of what they’re doing to the community.

"So, we have to be strong. This is the one area, this is a bridge too far. They’ve taken away God out of the public venue, they’ve destroyed the Black community, the Black family, they’ve taken away our history – this is a bridge too far when want to take away the pride in our country.

"So, Americans are standing up and doing the right thing.

We’re going to turn off every bit of entertainment that is against our American way. And, they will eventually pick up on it by the dollars that’s not coming to them, anymore.

"Maybe, even a Congress who can get them off the public dole. Enough time of the billionaires to be getting subsidized from tax dollars - enough.

"So, if we start doing the things we need to do, believe me, they will find their way back to capitalism instead of trying to get us to get into socialism."
