Doug Baldwin promised the Seattle Seahawks would plan a demonstration of "unity" during the national anthem before Sunday's season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 11.

On Saturday, Baldwin revealed the team's plan to stand and interlock arms.

"We are a team comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds," Baldwin said in the video. "And as a team, we have chosen to stand and interlock arms in unity. We honor those who have fought for the freedom we cherish. And we stand to ensure that the riches of freedom, and the security of justice for all people. Progress can and will be made only if we stand together."

Will Rosanne Barr be singing the National Anthem? These people are all multi- millionaires and they are completely out of touch with regular working people.

People aren't supposed to put their hand over their heart when hearing the anthem. Standing respectfully at attention is perfectly adequate.

Personally, I'm very relieved, and I hope that the Dolphin players follow suit, and that there is NO disrespect from them either.

Vote Trump!

Mmhmmm. Probably wet the bed for awhile too when you were younger? It’s okay. It’s nothing to be ashamed of (snort)

Read 36 USC Section 301.

It’s actually codified law that you put your hand over your heart.

Unenforceable, as there are no penalties associated, but, it is federal law.

I stand corrected. But I've seen it disregarded so routinely (probably because nobody even knows it's federal law) that it's certainly not a sign of disrespect.

Additionally, such a law appears to be obviously unconstitutional as it essentially mandates specific speech (expression).

Vote Trump!

Well, given that the entire premise of their “protest” is based on an outright fabrication and lie (that black men are being murdered in unprecedented numbers by the police), it is a bad thing.

A cop is 18 times more likely to be murdered by a black man, than a black man is to be shot by a cop.

That is a fact, using government statistics. If they wanted to show some unity about the unprecedented war on cops by black men, I would be all for it.

But this is all just a lie that these people are protesting.

Thanks for your support.

It’s so very frustrating for me to read FReeper comments that claim impotence and helplessness rather than offwring ideas or suggestions on how to fight back against the leftist plague that burdens us now. I thought FR was supposed to be a grass roots forum for conservative ideas and activism. Appears to me that has degenerated into a forum whiners, containers and hand-wringers that prefer to sit on their backsides and blog rather than working to find a solution.

FR appears to have too many squaws and not enough braves.

And, yeah, I know, I will most likely be chastised and banned for pointing this out, but the truth hurts and somebody has to say it. Otherwise, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Good-night and God bless, FRiend.

Actually, I’ve been here for 20 years. I published two mocking anti-Clinton limerick books, published a mocking CHILD’S EYE VIEW OF JOHN KERRY, flew to DC for the weekend and paraded in front of the WH with a poster sized eviction notice during the height of Monica, arranged for someone with additional evidence to appear before the impeachment investigators, did a radio show for two years, called talk shows probably 2000 times, attended many FReep demonstrations, appeared in studio on several talk shows, personally presented evidence to the FBI at the Federal Building in Los Angeles, have done over 200 YouTubes, provided private footage to Gowdy’s investigators and to Justice and FBI that showed Hillary’s intent for the server and finally -— produced the film that helped keep Hillary out of the WH in 2008 -— HILLARY! UNCENSORED, clips of which had over 21 million hits online during the 2008 election cycle. I debuted it at Harvard on her 60th birthday on an East Coast swing.

What the hell have you done, jerkoff? Hoped for people to be sent to the hospital from the football field. You are some piece of work and I am sorry to share a forum with you.

“Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? “

I’m guessing you already know it’s a BAD thing.

A good thing would be to stand with your hand over your heart and PROUDLY sing!

Anything less is a disgrace to those that served, those that died, and on THIS day, the fifteenth anniversary of the day of our greatest national tragedy, it is unforgivable.

That’s it? Kiss my ass Youtube boy. Amateur. 3 of the movies I co-produced are in the current top 25 of 2016 box office returns and 5 of the Tv shows I exec’d produced are in syndication PLUS I tell paramount execs which asshole libs I dont want to work with. You publish books? What effect does that do. I fight libs EVERYDAY in the Disney boardroom while you publish comics which no one remembers. But the work I put in will be remembered on Netflix. Get real and get lost LOL

Despite the fact that you are quite sick, I will not hope you get injured and sent to the hospital as you wish for others.
