“There may be fist fights in the stands.”

You know they are hoping for that.

[SaveFerris]

Yeah - unbelievable

[ozaukeemom]

And, sadly enough, there are plenty of fans who will think this is a great compromise. Especially, Green Bay. The fans here will believe anything in order to support their team.

I thought locking arms was so no one could put their hands on their heart.

[SaveFerris]

Yesh

[31R1O]

I’m stealing that one!

As I posted the Cowboys did it Monday night so the feed back must be positive

The only acceptable posture during the National Anthem is to stand, with your headgear off, and your hand over your heart.

You stand with arms linked, the guy behind you is going to pick your wallet.

Yeah Falcons,

let us lock arms for Cop Killing.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

BA was Mr. T’s character on the 80s TV show “The A-Team.” Why he would support this IDK. BA stood for Bad Attitude.

And what if they don't lock arms, but make the racist Black Power salute instead, eh meathead? Thanks Cecily.

[OpusatFR]

Talk about desperation.

Now they can call their fans unrepentant racists if they don’t link arms.

Everyone in the stands should put their hands over their hearts for the anthem.

What the heck is this locking arms thing????

Who knows ? Maybe a leftover Kaepernick San Fransicko can-can ? Certainly has its ghey connotation.

CHICKEN DANCE NATIONAL ANTHEM

da da da da da dah dah da ad da

[MayflowerMadam]

All of this kind of makes you want to throw up.

[cincinnati65]

Wait until the fights break out.....

[CygnusXI]

...and you KNOW it would be billed as neo Nazis attack peaceful protestors.
They are so transparent.

[fuzzylogic]

This means you’d be protesting with the team and against Trump. That is what they’re trying to get people to do. They’re trying to coerce people to be “unified” when the media narrative will be “people unified against Trump”.

[Enchante]

I would only consider putting my hand on my heart while standing at respectful attention. However, since I will never be attending or watching any NFL games I shall keep my anthem observances for other situations.

[libertylover]

I’d prefer the players, coaches, etc. stand at attention with their right hand over their hearts during the anthem.
