The owner of the Detroit Lions asked her team’s players not to kneel for the national anthem during their most recent game, according to The Detroit Free Press.
The Free Press on Sunday reported that Martha Ford made the request before the team’s National Football League (NFL) contest with the Minnesota Vikings that afternoon.
Ford said last week that she would be open to donating both her money and her name to community causes supported by the Lions’ roster members.

Just wow!. Watch for ticket prices to increase even more. Now all the players will threaten to sit so they can get in on the bribe money.

Someone posted an interesting link here last week to a blog report from an anonymous employee for one of the NFL teams. This guy claimed that the legal departments for teams across the NFL had been looking for ways to compel the players to stand, but all the owners have been warned that they have very little leverage here.
Bribing them is probably not a bad approach at this point. You can be 100% certain that this will be addressed in the next collective bargaining agreement between the owners and the players union.

Pay people not to do bad things, and what you will get are more and more new bad things.

Not that it matters to me. You couldn’t get me to watch an NFL game at gunpoint. LOL.
