The owners of the NFL are reportedly considering a rule change that would make it mandatory for players to stand during the national anthem.
A league spokesman said that the owners would discuss the potential change during a meeting next week, Dow Jones reported...
In September, the president renewed discussion about the protests when he urged owners to "fire" the "son of a bitch" who kneels during the anthem.

Bait and switch, they will take a knee in the locker room or tunnel before coming out, then act like idiots on the field when the Anthem is played with their raised fist.
VETERAN’S DAY TOTAL BOYCOTT OF nfl.
Don’t care. The owners could have nipped this in the bud over a year ago. They didn’t.
New rule changes nothing.
Ditto. In spades.
It is called behavior on the job, you follow work rules on company time. Do what you want off company time. Don’t see any of these whiners doing a thing for the poor of the black community to break up the poverty, gangs, drugs. Course they act just like that community, just that they get paid big bucks to be thugs.
Grab ‘em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow. I like how quickly their hearts and minds follwed once President Trump grabbed their...uh, threatened their tax exemptions.
Change the rule or don’t change the rule.
I won’t watch. The NFL is dead to me.
One Freeper posted a page from the NFL rule book that already requires that all players be on the field and stand holding their helmets in the left hand facing the flag. Not surprised they don’t even know their own rules.
It's kinda sad - especailly since the biggest killer of young black men is older black men. NOT cops...
Yes, the black community has problems but it's not the cops - it's the violent criminals that CAUSE the cops to spend so much time in that community.
The NFL has been exposed as supporters of BLM which is nothing more than a police-hating terrorist group. No amount of pandering by scared owners can change that.
Their house is on fire, burning down, and they are crapping their pants.
The NFL is dead to me now anyway, so what do I care?
It is almost an INSULT to America that there should be ANOTHER rule for the SOB NFL players to respect our flag and National anthem. Why can’t they respect our country with the protocol already established for all of us? SCREW the NFL.............NO MORE!!!!!!!!
Horse has left the barn and the barn has burned down.

Exactly! They’ve ruined it for good. And there won’t be any kind of old fashioned “barn raising” by the fans to build another.
TRUTH in all its GLORY-—LMAO!
