There is no reason to play the National Anthem at these games. If you don’t play it, you take away their protest platform. Think about that.
Just cave in to the America-haters demands? No way.

Football as we know it is in a death spiral anyway. It will die from the bottom up. Many parents are no longer allowing their sons to play in the peewee and rec leagues and this will work its way up through middle schools, high schools and colleges. So, the talent pool will dry up. Then, there’s lawsuits, will get ever more frequent and bigger. Sponsors will soon no longer wish to be associated with football. There will eventually be rule changes, maybe even legislation, that will radically change the game. Fans, attendees, viewers will dry up. Gone baby gone....

Wow...what a great idea. Let’s all just bend over.
That's EXACTLY what they want. And they ultimately want to change the National Anthem to something more PC.
The NFL has to get control of their stage. It belongs to the league and not to the talent. The word needs to go out that sideline personnel must stand for the national anthem. If you don’t want to stand, you must stay in the tunnels until the anthem is over. That is all. Any on-field disrespect during the anthem will be fined $10,000.
Um, no.
Why give these a$$holes a reward for being disrespectful punks?
Every other country has an anthem, and it IS played at sporting events.
At Toronto Blue Jays games they play both O Canada, and the US anthem.
I would stand for both, as a sign of respect, even though I am not Canadian.
