		Friends,

		See what action my friend Jon Delarroz (who is an Oakland A's Season Tickholder) is doing about his team disrespecting our flag, our anthem and our Veterans.  Consider being pro-active like Jon is and letting your voice be heard.   Watch Jon burn his Oakland A's Season Tickets at the periscope link below!  This broke his heart to do this, but it is the principle of the thing.

		The A's followed up their catcher's disrespect of America by having high schoolers come in and play the anthem kneeling. They're making a political show out of baseball, the only team in the league to do so.

		I wrote them, and I'm not going to be going to games anymore. They're playing America's pastime, they should be respecting our country and not playing politics.

		I wrote them a letter here:

		president at athletics.com if you'd like to write them also or have your clubs do so. We have very few ways to affect local change these days, but we can stand up to the local entertainment at the very least.
