This bill makes it so that while sporting teams have the right to not play the national anthem, those who do not play it will not be eligible for any funding from the state.

How about no state funding for sports teams whether or not they play the National Anthem. There is a certain irony in singing about the Land of the Free in an arena the allegedly free were forced to pay hundreds of millions in taxes for.

One step at a time.

First, you have some really notorious incident (like this situation) to get funding cut in certain instances. Once that happens, all of a sudden people who wouldn’t have even given funding of this type a second thought will say, “Hey, why are we working class stiffs paying taxes to help support the billionaires who own sports teams?” THAT is when real progress is made.
