Bold type mine....yes Marc it is done as a article of faith in this country. Go to Mecca or any other country and try to change their call to prayer and see how that turns out for ya.

I don't understand why Americans don't want to celebrate America

Like the idiots who flee their $hitholes, come here, and then wave the flag of their $hithole country.

Only a communist would think the National Anthem is anti-American and racist. How low can those IQs go?

So the freaks are now telling us it’s un-American to stand for our Flag.

Don’t give them any ideas. Next, they’ll be halting the game and putting their butts in the air during call for prayer at the two minute warning.

The NFL probably just wants to get back to playing games before a packed stadium. And making money.

The players and the media? They don’t care. They would continue to play the “victim” card as long as they could.

As for me - too late. I don’t give a care what the National Felons League does from here on out.

Private parties forbidding displays of disrespect during the national anthem is UNAMERICAN????

The Left, where the patients are running the asylum.

I can see the signs near the players bench with an outline of course kneeling with a circle-slash through it. Aka “no kneeling zone”. What’s the fine if the kneel anyway? Or they could stay in the locker room.

This is all on the NFL. They opened the pandora’s box when they let Kaepernick go on with his shenanigans in the first placed instead of fining and then suspending him.

Why is there no outrage about the NBA mandating all of its players stand for the anthem? There are just as many social justice warriors in basketball than football, if not more.

The NBA was smart enough to get ahead of this insanity and quash it before it could get started. The NFL wanted to pander to these whiners until the league realized that the consequences were too steep.

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.

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.
