No, that can't be. If you ban the National Anthem then what would Kaepernick protest during?
Never, the backlash would be a financial disaster for both.
Everyone needs something to rally about. What do they want to replace it with? The Communist Internationale? Rap?
good Thing - playing The national Athem at Sports Events Is bizarre
They should just play our National Anthem while the players are in the locker room. Don’t let them out until the Anthem is comlete. Just like they did at a soccer match in Seattle.
These players are free to protest but not on my dime. That would settle that.
Kill the NFL if the can’t decide what country the are the National Football League of.
I knew this was gonna happen. First they take out prayer then they remove the national anthem and pledge. Just like with our schools.
Not gonna happen for the very reason someone stated- it’d be a financial disaster.
Also, this wouldn’t fly in the deep red states. Anyone think an Oklahoma, Nebraska, etc. game is going to ban the anthem.
Good luck with that!
More fundamental change.
Memo to anyone who sits out the anthem;
I won’t be watching...
Never going to happen
This Racist Bum Owes his life and position to the Americans who gave him his very existence in an American life.
Shame on Him.
I quit watching ALL Pro Sports about 30 years ago because of the the abject MORAL BANKRUPTCY Pro Sports team exhibit, I think it is about to go MAINSTREAM for precisely the same reason, and I hope the National Felon League ceases to exist in the very near future.
It may be successful but there money, all of it....kiss it goodbye.
I can live just fine without the NFL, Starbucks, or Chase!
It leads to what it is already leading to. Politicizing sports leads to people tuning them out.
Colin Kaepernick’s jersey sales have soared to the number 1 sales spot since his sit out.
Maybe that’s the left’s ultimate goal. IMHO the proper response to the NFL and any other multibillion dollar sports syndicate that tolerates this stuff is to stop watching them. And stop visiting their advertisers. Let’s face it, as a business it’s not about the games, it’s about the money. Like many here on FR say, correctly, follow the money.
To be honest I haven’t watched a football game since my kids quit playing PeeWee 30-35 years ago, so this is not a problem for me.
“One of the few places where people bond together patriotically outside of the military, and the left is going to try to kill it.”
That is the key... The Left (and the RINOs) are all about Globalism and against Nationalism/American Exceptionlism.
It has been shown that Multiculturalism erodes trust in communities, even between members of the SAME culture, let alone different cultures existing side by side in the same community.
The Left through feminism and no-fault divorce has eroded the family, substituting Welfare and BigGovernment for Fathers. You can see how well this has worked for the black community in the U.S.
The goal of the Left is to disintegrate anything that bonds communities and people together (nuclear families, communities, sporting events, whatever...)... anything that would interfere with the power of the State.
