A Florida man took his anger out on NFL players protesting during the U.S. national anthem by flying a plane with a banner.

“BE AMERICAN. BOYCOTT THE JAGS AND THE NFL,” Terry Smiley’s message read. He hired a pilot to fly the banner over EverBank Field on Sunday, Oct. 15, before the Jacksonville Jaguars played the Los Angeles Rams.
