What’s with the hive mind going on? Why aren’t the members of the team free to do whatever their conscience tells them?
Any fans that show up should moon them.
36 U.S. Code § 301 - National anthem says nothing about linking arms.
Unity is when all stand , with hand over heart ,,, that’s true unity . Their game is to divide or separate US from our flag , Constitution . and country and culture .
No thanks. When they start taking a knee to protest abortion abortion and illegal immigration then perhaps I would consider linking arms...
Won’t be linking arms with anyone at the stadium because I won’t be in the stadium.
There may be fist fights in the stands.
I won’t link arms with anti-Americans.
Stupid elected Obama...twice.
Locking your arms with an unwilling person is an assault.
I think you have a right of self defense if some clown tries to lock his arms with you.
Packers have made the same announcement.
Just can’t keep their mouths shut.
so, I’m done.
Technically the hand over the heart is a salute. One salutes the flag to show respect.
While standing or kneeling?
They will hear more BOOOS for sure.
OK, now it is time, even past time, to just not attend the NFL games. At least until they stop this nonsense.
It’s as if the NFL is saying to the fans: “OK, we see that many of you disapprove of these protests, so now we want you all to join us in some continuing protests. How about it?”
The Left is absolutely insidious. They're trying to make it appear as if their disrespect is OK simply because they will now be standing.
However, they should be well aware (I'm sure most of them are) that proper conduct during the singing of the national anthem calls for non-military American individuals to remove any headgear and place their right hand over their heart.
So now, the Left is trying to corrupt NFL fans by enticing them into an overtly subversive act.
Apparently, these misguided malcontents really aren't going to learn their lesson until they have their noses rubbed directly into the reeking sh-t that they've deposited on football fields all across America—and even in England.
Very well. This lesson—a very important one that is being taught by millions of us deplorable American patriots—will continue to be taught until these wayward children submissively acknowledge the error of their ways...
“The taking of a knee or linking arms at NFL games is a shallow self centered “protest.” The truth is that the players are actually DOING NOTHING but taking advantage of a moment in time when the media would be focused on them anyway, at a place they would be anyway - - AT WORK! They expend NO real TIME, NO real EFFORT, none of their RESOURCES on their “cause.”
Self absorbed and intellectually lazy. Getting attention for themselves with the least amount of commitment to their issue!
They should go mentor fatherless boys & girls on their days off! If they were REALLY sincere, if they REALLY cared! That is where the actual problem begins in their “former” communities! Instead of spending an hour once a week, they rather shite on what is profoundly important to fans!
NFL lost THE GAME.
locking arms is an old leftist protest technique.

as well as MLK’s 1965 Selma march.
this is a dog whistle to every liberal and in particular every old school hippie protester who was active in the 1960s.
however, imho the NFL is asking their entire stadium fan base for liberal value signaling over patriotism. imho, that is going beyond the Vietnam War and beyond MLK’s marches for equal rights.
it is difficult to believe that the NFL is consciously doing this... imho it must be ignorance... (??)
When the National Anthem is played, it’s proper, You Jack@ss, to Stand, take your hat off, and put your right hand over your heart. Not stand locked arm and arm with your neighbor. This sounds like a Jerry Jones BS to jive us.
THIS IS FEMALE SH*T!!!!
