With all the negativity surrounding the NFL and the National Anthem, I thought it would be nice to throw this out there.

We went on a cruise recently and one of the stops was Jamaica, on the way to the place where we were going kayaking we passed the school that he attended. The guide was very proud of Bolt and told us that he donated thousands of dollars to, and bought computers for the school for the children and that he was a friendly and nice man. Given that, I'm not surprised he is respectful.

PO3 (Join to see) Significance here is that he is Jamaican, not American. He stopped an interview to be respectful while the National Anthem was playing during a medal ceremony.

PO3 Steven Sherrill - And PO3 (Join to see) if you crank up the volume, that ceremony in the back ground was the US National Anthem.

I love this video. Honestly you can't compare this to what is going on in America. It's our country but is it really ours or is it "are's". The equality has to be equality and not when we feel like it..

SFC (Join to see) There will always be different classes of people. That hasn't changed since the dawn of "civilization" and it won't change. I posted this to get away from all the negativity. Here was an athlete from a foreign nation showing reverence when another nation's anthem was played, and by extension respect for his fellow athlete. It was a classy act.
