You are correct. It exists, but not even close to "top secret".

A political group with close ties to President Donald Trump is amplifying his attack on professional athletes who kneel during the national anthem as a form of protest.
“Turn off the NFL,” reads a digital ad produced by the nonprofit America First Policies, which planned to begin spreading the message on social media Sunday afternoon.
The ad includes a photo with Trump, hand over his heart, and a #TakeAStandNotAKnee hashtag. It follows Trump’s recent remarks, first delivered during a Friday night speech in Alabama, aimed at football players who have protested police brutality and other causes.
While campaigning for Luther Strange, who is locked in a tough Republican primary to keep the Alabama Senate seat he was appointed to earlier this year, Trump asked those in the audience if they would "love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'get that son of a bitch off the field right now.'" He added that such players should be fired.
Trump continued the attack over the weekend on Twitter.
“If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect … our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem,” Trump posted in a series of tweets. "If not, YOU'RE FIRED. Find something else to do!”
NFL team owners and players reacted strongly and disapprovingly to Trump’s push.

Most of the government funding for statiums is state and local, and I bet that at least some of them have a moral turpitude clause of some kind. And I’d be surprised if the NFL doesn’t have a moral turpitude clause.
Thanks for doing the research and posting this. Well done!
I have been snookered by fake news before on breaking news stories and thought it had happened again. But it seems that this rule existed after all but in a different rule book.
OK, I watched all of them. I have never seen any of them. They were funny.
Thank you.

You’re welcome; glad I could be of help !
One of my high school friends, a lifelong Democrat who dislikes Trump, is boycotting the NFL and saying so on his Facebook feed. He is, unsurprisingly, a military veteran.
If it is not on the internet, it must be top secret these days. And it was not on the internet when this started. I found it referred to in the judges decision in the Brady case, but the exhibit was under seal.
