A 1/2 empty stadium even more so.
“Chris Long on the new NFL anthem rules: ‘This is not patriotism.”
Ole Chris ain’t that good. He should be careful or he will find himself spending weekends hanging with Kaepernick.
“Chris Long on the new NFL anthem rules: ‘This is not patriotism’”
Actually, I kinda agree with him in the sense that patriotism is not something to be legislated but is a natural reaction to ones love of country.
Anyone who has watched the NFL for much of their life knows there has never been a time when players all stood uniformly for the anthem. I have watched over the years and see quarterbacks warming up during the anthem, other doing calisthenics and such my entire life.
What makes this different is now there are some openly in protest during the anthem and it leaves a bad taste seeing that disrespect. The NFL has no patriotic intents whatsoever in making a new rule, its just about the bottom line for them.
If it had never been for Kaepernick’s antics, no one would care today that Big Ben and his receivers were tossing the ball during the anthem as it was not done in a disrespectful way.
