I realize that I've become that old guy now.

I just can't stand pro athletes today. I wonder if its just my age or are there actually younger folks (30's and under) that find it offensive or repulsive as well.

I also wonder if the same folks that are OK with athletes disrespecting the flag would also be OK with some racist moron exercising his rights to hate Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews etc...

It's a F'ed up world we're living in now. I just pray we all eventually come together.

I'm 32 and I feel much the same as you. And it's not just athletes, it's younger people in general. I look at people only 8-10 years younger than me and I realize I have very little in common with the overwhelming majority of them. I often wonder where all the sense has gone and I feel like I am one of the few reasonable people I know. Which isn't saying much because I have my fair share of unreasonable behavior myself. I agree though, messed up world and hopefully people wake up and realize God is trying to get our attention.

I'm 30, and I feel at least 20 years older next to people just a few years younger than me, let alone alone the one's who are at least 10 years younger.

I instantly feel a lack of genuineness when I'm around them. They walk around with these crap eating grins plastered on their faces, they copy everything everyone does, and they love to talk about mindless things. I try to say something thoughtful and they look at me like I'm an old grandpa telling war stories. But if I make a fart joke, then I'm cool. There are very few people younger than me who I genuinely respect.

These athletes are just beacons of what young people are turning into.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
