The competitive drive to win at all cost is fierce among athletes. Winning at all cost often includes using one of many performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids.

One of the biggest things in our world today that we see on Tv is the kneeling and the disrespecting of the flag from athletes across america. To me, it’s not right, why would someone kneel for the flag that our loved ones have fought and died overseas for?
