    NFL's national anthem policy will punish teams if players don't stand on sidelines

    It's a shame that this is even an issue.

    The United States of America. Greatest country in the history of the Earth.

    Provides more opportunity than any country ever in existence for all citizens.




    And we got grown men acting like babies kneeling for the anthem.

    It's what happens when, for 50 years, you let the exception become the rule and grant lienency to inferior members of society... you eventually become the lowest common denominator

    Trump and millions of Americans say enough is enough, and caused the pricks running TV and the NFL to right their ship for fear of becoming themselves the broke subordinates they employ

    The powder keg has been lit

    Watch the left self implode on espn tonite

    Doesn't do a damn thing. All it does it make those on the field stand. Protesters will stay in the tunnel till the anthem is over.

    Trump pansies will still be crying.

    I hope a whole team stays in the locker room.

    NFL kisses his ass because they're a big money maker, the tax breaks they got probably saved billions. Corporations and banks taking over the country, the average joe's have to fight to get bad healthcare plans. The only people who love Trump are people who have money in the stock market....and racist bastards who don't want blacks and foreigners in their neighborhoods. And banks .…...and big corporations.....and guys who love their guns.

    There I said it.

    The players are just cutting their own throats here. Look what happened to Kap. Now the Supreme Court is coming down on the side of employers and not Liberal crybaby employees. The players can stay in the dressing room or stand on the sideline. If I own a team, and a player refuses to stand on the sideline, I kick his worthless arse off of the team. Liberals are a disease and like a cancer, they must be stopped. If it is my business, I will do whatever in the hell I want, as long as it is legal. Refusing to hire or play someone is perfectly legal.

    I tend to agree with this a little bet.. I think of it like this.. Examples... I'm sure I'll be called racist for this..

    1) You let in enough Muslim refugees into a small Country then that Country slowly becomes a violent poor Islamic State. It begins to lose it's identity.. Hence Germany and Sweden..

    2) You let in millions of more illegal Mexican immigrants into America the crime and State debts climb and your cities quickly become dirty, over crowded, drug infested and begin looking like a third world Country where no one speaks English anymore.. Demographics change rapidly.. Hence LA, California and border towns in Texas now..

    3) Etc...

    Liberalism and complete blind acceptance doesn't always work out in the end..... OUCH!!!

    I don't reckon Trump had alot to do with this,their losing revenue,and that's the bottom line.

    Don't buy what the Media is feeding you.

    Why is it so important to anyone to make sure that a player is out there standing for the anthem? Is it because you get a thrill out of forcing your will on another human being? Who gives a flying f@ck is players are out there? So you want to penalize people because they didn't do what you say. So free will is essentially dead in this country. Deport them. Take their paychecks away. Take freedom of choice away. All because they don't stand before a flag.

    Insanity.

    Here's a good question: Does anyone know WHY people are kneeling during the national anthem? Why do you think they are doing it?

    Ya, it does something. It ends their ability to use the anthem as a time for attention whoring. If they want to stay in the locker room fine. They can be pussies out of our sight.

    It's a show of respect and unity.. Many American people love this Country and are patriotic. Maybe some have relatives that fought and or even died fighting for this Country.. NFL is an American sport, many NFL American fans are patriotic, many active US soldiers watch the NFL every Sunday as past time also.. They don't wanna see players kneeling during the Anthem. Paying fans also going to the games don't wanna see players kneeling during the Anthem..

    I know I don't like seeing it.. Stay in the locker room if you don't like the Anthem and America... Give the paying fans 2 minutes of the patriotism they want and deserve...

    They will stand

    Players don't give up camera time

    If inside, noone can see their faces

    Teams will force it down their throats if they have too...need public support for stadiums and infrastructure, etc

    What about the rights of the fans that don't want to hear the anthem? I'm tired of hearing it at every sporting event. Just play the fukking game already.

    NFL fukks it up again

    They really can’t get out of their own way on anything

    Have some balls and say we’re all standing for the anthem or do nothing at all...they’re giving players an out here and attention will still be on players that decide not to come out for the anthem

    Pussy move and this is from someone who doesn’t give a shit either way...just laughable that they solved nothing again!

    To protest police shootings.

    However the problem all started because kaepernick did it without saying anything about why he was doing it. If he says why hes doing it from the start the whole narrative is different.

    He's protesting POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST AFRICAN AMERICANS.

    It is NOT an anti-police protest. Try getting it right!

    I,t wasn't important until Trump sucked them all into believing nonsense when he changed the whole narrative in what Kap was talking about. Sure enuf Trump somehow, 1 by 1, got the dumbest of our dumb, marching behind him when in reality Trump is still butt hurt because the NFL rejected him a few years ago. Trump did say that he could open fire on fifth avenue and his supporters would still be supporting him. What does that tell you about these nimrods? Why would the NFL want an owner whose credit was so shot he couldn't even get a credit card here in our country.

    There were probably a few...who knows

    But now that they added this you know week 1 the networks will have someone look at who didn’t come out for the anthem

    Just a really dumb move but what do you expect from the NFL? Horrible leadership

    So you think its appropriate to wear socks like that?

    Also, do you go to work and protest police brutality?

    We haven't seen the players reponse yet. What happens if ALL players kneel on first game of the season? Will they cancel Week 2? Don't underestimate the players response. Without players there is no NFL.

    This will make their ratings worse. It was already dropping due to people cutting the cord on cable TV, online streaming legally and non-legally.
