“This bar is politically incorrect. We say Merry Christmas, God Bless. We salute the flag and things like that,” Alcock said.

“I laughed, just like most people laughed,” customer Mike Lee said to WFLA. “I thought it was a pretty funny idea. If you don’t like it, there are several other stalls that you can choose from so you know. Don’t pee on it.”
Despite catching a lot of flak over this, Alcock says that he appreciates the First Amendment, because it allows him to do what he’s doing with the jersey sticker.
