Fox Sports and NFL need a lesson on civics
Republics and Democracies by Robert Welch
It looks like Fox Sports and the NFL need a lesson in basis civics. They sponsored a reading of the Declaration of Independence which has become a Pre Super Bowl game tradition. Led by retired General Colin Powell, it was commendable.

It tells the story of our nation’s founding, flags of the new nation, the history of several patriotic paintings, and the back page has a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Continue reading
