    Default Best commercial during the Super Bowl

    Of course the majority of articles out there didn't really cover this one much.

    But of course it has ended up making news anyway, as now social media twitnits jumped all over this. Stating that it's a stab at Kaepernick. That it's a jab to anyone who kneels or supports such.

    Yeah, and? Even if, that's their problem. This commercial is FAR from being offensive. It's something ALL AMERICANS should be proud to watch!! But some find fault. Amazing.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Fuck 'em if they don't like it. And I don't give a damn WHO it's an "in your face" to. Works for me.

    My only problem with it... the American flag didn't fly at The Alamo... other than that it's a nice, patriotic monologue. It should bother no one, besides, it's not like anyone is forcing anyone else to listen to it... this is America, after all...

    Correct. The US played no official role in the Texas War of Independence. The Battle of the Alamo was fought in Apr 1836. The US Mexico War was fought in 1846. Texas was an independent Nation in the interim.

    Define irony given today's US - Mexico issues: The Alamo defenders were either Native Mexican, or legal immigrant Anglo Mexican citizens, and ILLEGAL immigrant US citizens. There were no native born, anglo "Texians or Texicans" old enough to have participated in the fight.
