Full title..................Liberal media outraged after 'racist' NFL adopts un-American policy to combat national anthem protests...............
CNNs Marc Lamont Hill urged all players to remain in the locker room. The CNN star added, The worst part is that weve just accepted the idea that the national anthem has to be sung before each game as an article of faith.

“Or they could stay in the locker room.”
It’s really up to the owner. He could have his players wearing a pink pu$$yhat on their helmets prior to the game and there isn’t a thing they can do.
The owner just has to say, every player will stand for the National Anthem and that is that. A player doesn’t stand, cut him.
“I guess they think its also un-American to live in America and be an American.”
They got used to their god the Fraud pointing out traditional American culture to them and saying, “That’s not who we are.”
marie harf proves you have to be an idiot to be a liberal and she does this by opening her mouth.
Wow... The NFL FINALLY woke up and realized that most Americans actually love their country and want to show respect to their military and history, and not spend their money going to sporting events to have anti-American sentiments shoved in their faces. It only took them about a year. Not bad.
So Mark,
Did you have a problem with the NFL players (after kneeling for the National Anthem) stood for God Save the Queen during the London game last year? That would be the anthem that honors the country that originally implemented the institution of slavery in this country? Just asking...
My solution would have been to let the players kneel during the anthem, and then announce after it was over which players knelt. Who would want to buy a jersey of a player who disrespected the flag and anthem. After a while, further action might include having the kneelers kneel at the tunnel entrance, and surely not with the other players. if all the players knelt, so be it.
As promised, the nfl players union is looking to a possible lawsuit.
For real? The NBA did this?
They redefine “bottom of the cesspool” every day. Hold on.
Probably! ALL they care about is butts in seats and eyes on the tube so they can charge advertisers accordingly. I think they will find more than a few former NFL fans who think the way which you do.
For me, I've already found more pleasant things to do with my Sunday afternoons. Maybe if Roger Goddell promises to kiss Tim Tebow's @$$ on live TV, I MIGHT tune in.
Teams are going to get fined if their players kneel during the playing of the National Anthem.
I can see what is going to happen now. Some players will kneel during the Anthem just to give the middle finger to the league. The team will get fined and then try to pass the cost of the fine on to the offending players. The players will then appeal through the players union and say that the teams are infringing on their 1st amendment rights. And the controversy will rage on.
As far as I’m concerned, this is too little, too late.
Totally done with the NFL.
And I live in an NFL city.
I wouldn’t fine the players or the team. They should penalize the team. Assess a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct on their first offensive possession. They will start 1st and 25. See how long we have kneelers.....
Yes because they actually had an issue with (muslim) player who objected to standing for the anthem back in the ‘90s. So they had a rule in place for decades when this NFL mess hit.

Now they will have leftys dumping them off as well as those on the right that have already dumped them earlier to never come back.
Baaaah! HA!
GTHNFL, aint got no time fo dat no mo!
What Marc and the other libs are missing is that the NFL is a business and the players are employees. And just like any other business, you, me, all of us lose some of our “rights” the minute we agree to go to work for our employer in exchange for compensation. If our employer enacts a policy we don’t agree with, we are free to leave.
