0 comments do you think that this veteran<u+2019>s actions were wrong? i think that #bamasits student protesters are a bunch of blm hippie whiners! way to go, colin kaepernick! your actions as a millionaire whiner in the national football league have now influenced the young minds of young students at college football games. these kids are not even equipped with enough mental toughness to consider basic issues. you believe that your actions will help them to create a better life? evidently, protesting the national anthem is a fad that is not quite ready to die. one recent iteration can be found at the university of alabama, where students use the hashtag #bamasits in an attempt to draw attention to their cause. these little babies have the right to protest, but like many who have a liberal mindset, they are only tolerant of others who share their views. if you stand up for your own views, as this veteran did, you are behaving in ways that are <u+201c>outside of your rights.<u+201d> one representative of #bamasits, emerald vaughn, described the group like this: <u+201c>#bamasits is a peaceful protest. we are protesting social injustice. we support underrepresented lgbtq community and people of color against discrimination and we<u+2019>re also protesting against police brutality.<u+201d> fine, emerald. have your protests. one question, though: what is wrong with a veteran of the united states military standing during a game and sharing his own views? teddi badami, an air force veteran, decided that he would do just that. video has surfaced of the #bamasits crowd protesting the national anthem at bryant-denny stadium, prior to the texas a&m game, when badami stood in front of their protest with his hand over his heart. badami simply stood and sang along with the words of the national anthem. <u+201c>i politely stood up to ask him, could you move and he said he was a veteran. i respect veterans, i don<u+2019>t have anything against veterans but i felt like you shouldn<u+2019>t try to invade and bully your way. that was total disrespect and disregard of our protest,<u+201d> said vaughn. clearly, badami does not feel that way. take a look at video footage of the event, below: #bamasits says a veteran interrupted their peaceful protest, the vet says otherwise. watch @abc3340 at 10 for more. pic.twitter.com/vo6llr9hig

do you believe that badami was out of line? 




<u+201c>i stood there with my hand over my heart and sang the national anthem loud and proud. i made no comments to any of the individuals other than i stand for the national anthem and that i served our country,<u+201d> badami said. 




<u+201c>i felt that it was disrespectful, he can have his own, whatever his points that he wanted to make, he could have did that on his own. people fight over, they fight our wars with veterans for us to have the right to sit or stand for the national anthem,<u+201d> vaughn said. 




badami says he and his friend returned to their seats after the anthem but were temporarily detained by campus police. 




detained by campus police? give me a break!
