Why would they have to change the wording!? They’re employees.
It’s not exactly “secret” since everyone is talking about it.
Big deal! So they stand! We know what’s in their hearts. They hate this country. They should go back to their homeland.
No way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
I have mixed feelings on this. It would be an acknowledgment that Trump was right. It would also be a way to stop the fan bleeding from the sport, something I would prefer not happen. Those involved with the NFL, including ESPN, really need to suffer to completely understand the consequences of injecting politics into game day.
Why is it that I would get fired for protesting or being political at work but the NFL players are somehow exempt from that?
Here is a thought... they wear uniforms, right? Put them under the UCMJ as long as they are in uniform and the rest will follow, right?
Do I REALLY need to add the tag???
Typical Liberal writer living in his WholeFoods Hipster Bubble. The NFL is not about to give Donald Trump what he wants, they are about to give THE AMERICAN PEOPLE what they want.
Too late
WAKE UP PEOPLE
He parsing.
He says ‘stand’
NOTHING about hand on heart -
DO it the right way - or it is NOT right - they ‘stood’ once before - with arms interlocked and smirks on their faces.
this is just another smirk
Don’t let them get away with it - he showed his true colors when, after vowing to can anyone who didn’t correctly honor the flag - he turned around and ‘took a knee’ with them.
He has no credibility,
He has no honor.
This is a ruse to get POTUS to say - not enough - then they can whine about him being so stubborn ‘what more does he want’ etc etc - - they think they’ve got the perfect trap for POTUS
we gonna let it slide? We gonna swallow their rhetoric
It will be interesting to see how the NFLPA will be exposed as UnAmerican Union Thugs when they go to court and the it is determined that the CBA is not worth the paper it is printed on.
Better yet, it is going to be fun to see Jerry Jones cut Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott when they take a knee during our national anthem.
Jerry Jones would cut Prescott and Elliott and no other NFL team would sign them!
That is going to be so good.
Trump is a media genius. I used to not think so, or I didn’t look at it deeply — but with just two tweets and a couple sentences in a speech, he knew exactly how to make the NFL his byatch
Next up - Goodell is getting fired
A waste of time, but nice still just to show that Trump was right.
It’s a waste of time because most of us that have walked away from the NFL...will not be coming back.
The NFL is exposed as anti-Christian, anti-capitalist, anti-Constitutuon.
Any apparent change in policy is a sop because of lost revenue.
The NFL is the Republicans in Congress during Obama. They might talk like they care. But they lie.
Whatever they can do to keep enough fans to support existence of their business is what owners will do. Regardless NFL’s demise, everyone noticed where the actual wealth of this country comes from.
Sorry Jeremy, the NFL plans to give the AMERICAN football fans what THEY want.
'd also like to end all relationship with our military and the nfl and they should hire security instead of use cops.
Thank you POTUS DJT!
It is what the nation wants, not Trump.
