Am I wrong?

[kingu]

Does that 150 number include teams that violated NFL rules and did not show up on the field before the anthem was played?

[SMARTY]

It’s still 10% too many. Athletes, as a whole need some self-censorship and a reminder about WHO pays their princely salaries!

[EBH]

The issue isn’t only 9%, the issue is the spectacle they are making.

[NorthMountain]

The league tolerates it ... supports it, even.

The league is corrupt.

To HELL with the NFL.

[nevergore]

The NFL heavily regulate every issue, item and product on and off the field.....

If a player wears the wrong shoes or puts a small sticker on their helmet or jersey (even ones expressing their own political views) they are be significantly fined.....

The NFL has been suppressing players free speech on the field for years....

That they are not, on the issue of standing for the flag, shows the true colors of the owners and the league....

NO MORE NFL for me!

Playing Linky-Arm and hiding in tunnels doesn’t make the rest of them patriotic, just cowardly. And complicit.

FOAD, NFL!

[VaeVictis]

So 10% shall ruin it for the 90%. That is normally how communism works - small group ruining it for all.

As it stands, the nfl administration is allowing it. As long as they do, I ain’t watching. I don’t like anti-american propaganda no matter what venue.

[P-Marlowe]

Does this number include the entire Pittsburgh Kneelers Team that sat on their fat asses during the Anthem?

[CGASMIA68]

Cameras were on the 9%

[Walkingfeather]

yes. you are. Football is not cared about by this generation and even less so by the upcoming z gen. Its done.

[BuffaloJack]

I always thought that there was an NFL Rule requiring players to stand and show respect during the National Anthem, but then I may be wrong.

[Savage Beast]

Okay. So fire the ones who did.

[Joe Boucher]

Like has been said on Fox news this morning.
Last year when 5 cops got shot in Dallas, the Cowboys wanted to wear patches honoring them.
Goodall wouldn’t allow it.
Some BS about not wanting to be political.
Well Freeper,the NFL as well as the NBA decided this was a great political subject to go off on.
I watch baseball. Not for some political crap.

[DoodleDawg]

Last week 6 players took a knee - four-tenths of one percent. Trump makes a scene of it and now it’s ten percent.

[mewzilla]

Meanwhile, more kneeling. Check out "Um, What Now?"...

SecondCityCop

Be sure to read the comments.

[ManHunter]

That number includes only the players who were on the field and sat or knelt, not the entire teams -save one Ranger Villanueva - who stayed in the tunnel or locker room during the playing of the national anthem.

Rebuttal: What other product having a 10% defect rate would you find acceptable on a regular basis? Would you be ok with your car not starting 10% of the time? How about every tenth quart of milk being sour when you open it? Etc.

And the LGBT(IQCAPGNGFNBA) crowd is less than two percent of the population and look how they've managed to stink things up. You can't use a bathroom at Target or walk down the streets of San Francisco without being exposed to depravity. When dealing with cancer, noting that it has only reached a percent or two of your body mass does not affect whether or not you will treat it. So, yes, in placing any value at all on the statistic, I think you are indeed wrong. But it doesn't make ya bad people!
