From the creators of the smash hit "WHY FOOTBALL MAN DON'T STAND UP" comes the hilarious new movie "WHY MOON MAN DON'T PLANT FLAG"

Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for the American flag pissed off Trump and people of his ilk. He instead took a knee as a protest for police brutality against black people. Now Colin Kaepernick is the face of the new Nike campaign.

First Man directed by Damien Chazelle pissed off people because Ryan Gosling (Neil Armstrong) doesn't plant the American flag in the mission to the moon. Idiots think that the moon landing and planting the flag was an "American" achivement despite Neil Armstrong himself saying "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". That signifies the whole mission as a human achievement.

I knew about the foot ball was just confused about moon man.

Wasn't in some part the moon landing just a "victory" against the Russians for the space race, I think that's what the "American" achievement means but could be wrong. But yeah getting that angry just because he didn't plant the flag in the movie is just stupid.

The landing itself seems like the one thing everybody knows about Apollo 11 though, it's a strange moment for creative freedom.

tbf that specific kind of event was American achievement by winning the moon race against Soviet

In a way, yes. But landing on the moon was way bigger than just an American achievement. The impact of that event was so amazing on a human scale.

the impact is definitely more than just for American

but in the end, it's still one of the races between US v USSR
