Shame on the NFL commissioner owners and players for their ongoing protest during the national anthem and flying of the flag.

But before going further, congratulations to the Hawaii World Champion Little League baseball team.

While listening to their comments to the media, I never heard a negative word from any one of them. This attitude is from proper parenting at home. They spoke of teamwork, ohana, Hawaii, working together, doing everything for the team and, lastly, being humble.

The coach was great. He spoke of every other team and all the works that others did, but never once about his team and himself. What a great inspiration for our keiki.

What you see from the NFL: Selfishness, self-centeredness, arrogance, look what I did.
