No one disputes that. It is the venue and the method that is under discussion. I as a paying customer do not wish to see the players disrespect the flag, and yes, by inference, me, the US citizen.

The NFL has destroyed itself. I think the TV ratings are going to crater - I won't be watching and I'm considering not participating in fantasy football, and we have had our league for thirty-five years. I am also curious to see how live attendance is affected. And I wonder how season ticket sales which are going on right now will be affected.
