I’m okay with that. Protest and respecting the anthem do not need to be mutually exclusive. The whole episode has been rather stupid, to be honest. No point in punishing all players for the stupidity of some.

Yea, they should be able to sit in the locker room while other spit on our flag, our Vets and our nation. NOT!

You don't get to be neutral on an issue like this.

You are okay with an entire ‘company’ signifying allegiance to a fake Black Lives Matter cause?

Protesting what? It’s all based on lies. Doesn’t anyone have the guts to come out and say that? I’m about to beat my head on a wall.

That is what gets me, this is all guilt by association, one or two jerks so we penalize the team, didn’t like it 1st grade when Johnny lost us recess time, didn’t like it in boot camp when Johnny cost us three more minutes of bend and thrusts, don’t like it now.

I’d almost made this suggestion. There’s just no need to disrespect the flag to highlight a cause. You can have a cause and be respectful at the same time, it’ll be far more effective.

Never served in the military, did you? If you had, it wouldn't seem so stupid, civilian.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

No,but protest does NOT belong at a football game.

Thant you! I have been attacked for my view, like yours, and feel that FR has some lack of understanding what being conservative is all about. I was just upholding Constitution and Jones, owner of Cowboys, way of handling a difficult situation....I was bombarded w misunderstandings!
