THE STAND Blog is the place to find personal insights and perspectives from writers who respond to current cultural topics by promoting faith and defending the family.
THE STAND Magazine is AFA’s monthly publication that filters the culture’s endless stream of information through a grid of scriptural truth. It is chock-full of new stories, feature articles, commentaries, and more that encourage Christians to step out in faith and action.
This past Sunday, Vice-President Mike Pence walked out of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts game against the San Franciscio 49ers after several players took a knee during the national anthem.
He said: "I left today's Colts game because President Trump and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem. At a time when so many Americans are inspiring our nation with their courage, resolve, and resilience, now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us."
AFA applauds Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen for walking out!
The Indianapolis Star reports no Colts players knelt during the national anthem, but several 49ers did.
The American people are fed up with the NFL allowing its players to disrespect the national anthem, our flag or our country and they are tuning out. A recent poll shows the NFL is now the least popular among professional sports.
