    Both NBA and NHL have rules in place. Players must stand.

    Actually, it wasn't as the NFL specifically stated anthem "must" be played and players "should" stand on sidelines. There is a difference between those words.

    NHL is respectful of their country

    We don’t even allow respect in our school systems now

    Well I don't think the NBA players will kneel but they probably will lock arms or do something out of the norm to bring attention to them.. Trump will then jump on it... That's all I'm saying..

    Lebron and Curry HATE Trump now..

    Pitt Penguins visited the White House and it all went over very well.. Trump treated all the NHL players with respect and dignity.. Class act.. All smiles today... The liberal news outlets didn't spin it that way which is to be expected..

    ESPN played it straight though in this link below..

    The games being played is the liberal machine opening the flood gates to all kinds of discrimination, harassment, racist claims that have subverted our children into politically correct robots.

    Technology has flourished and is further used to pummel thoughts into our brains. Now you can Facebook stalk a person and instead of speaking with them you can gather all the information you think you know and pass judgement without ever saying hello.

    People do not even know how to interact with one another in public or if they do it’s with regard to what’s politically correct. The filters being used make it impossible to even have an opinion that is contrary to the masses.

    I blame you guys for voting for that while I was busy but it looks like it may be too late even with Trump up there to try and undo what has already been entrenched into this country.

    You're complaining about people not knowing how to interact in public and the savior is a guy from a reality TV show... Now that's ironically funny... Lol

    I didn’t say he was a savior and I never watched a single episode of him on television.

    I was busy working.

    Right or wrong he calls it like he sees it and I can appreciate that. I wish more would do the same in public.

    The players should take owners to court. I believe it will happen.

    In general, they don't have a case unless it's against the CBA (?). A crazy bootstrap way would make it unconstitutional on 1st Amendment ground by using Trump. 1) Show that NFL is a monopoly and use USFL "victory" in court to prove it. 2) Trump's actions had made NFL a "quasi- government" agent which now Constitution laws are applicable. It's a Hail Mary but would be funny as hell... and yes it is happy hour and I'm drinking now... Lol

    Players should be fired if they can't get around not being a distraction or being disrespectful during our American National Anthem... If I were the owner I'd give them one chance to straighten up or they get their walking papers and are gone.

    Players should protest in any other setting other then our National Anthem.. It's obviously offending half of America and the paying fans so STOP IT....

    Ghetto black millionaires aren't use to being disciplined and told what to do... That's what we are seeing now..

    It just illustrates that the NFL and the DoD just wanted to market. Much like the bs thank you for your service that I already see in 80% of people.

    There are some that get it like packerd and Steve and many “country” folks that the rest of you do not like.

    I don’t know about other Americans but I certainly love the land and I love those who love it like I do. Mountains oceans cornfields waterfalls snow sun rain and wind. Skyscrapers and barns Fords and Dodgers it’s all good.

    No one cared that Kaep was sitting until someone sent a picture of him doing it to the media. And then he started kneeling along side his standing teammates so he would stick out more.

    Now they're all about enforcing rules to stand during the anthem and it's disrespectful blah blah blah...money talks, pinko libtarded bullshit walks, or in this case, stands

    Owners could argue that he has the right to fire a player for insubordination.
    The employer (owner) gives the employee (player) a directive "please stand for the anthem, I ask because it may come across as disrespectful to some" and the player says "no, I can kneel if I want to" that is insubordination and it can lead to termination.

    If my boss gives me a rational directive and I refuse, watch how fast I get an insubordination write up (or worse)
    Hey, this is pretty much stupidity, players are giving the owners grief over this, owners are giving players grief over this, the casual viewer is saying "fuk this" they give up on the NFL, owners don't get revenue, players don't get as fat as contracts as they used to because of the loss of revenue.....

    So who wins.

    Is Kaep getting blackballed?
    Probably,
    Is it right?
    Maybe, maybe not, but he needs to realize a lot of this he brought on himself, and if you take on a corporation that is so powerful that it own a day of the week for the love of God, it usually doesn't end well.
