Yes, with all the same trappings of a dentist’s drill.

Extremely annoying!

“Maybe they think they can ride out the storm”

That’s exactly what they’re hoping to do.

As an earlier thread here shows now a high school team has taken it on...A big part of a team in Virginia knelt during the National Anthem...

Monkey see, monkey do...

If we quit giving them all the attention, they’d tire of doing it...

I wonder what the league would think of say 30,000 attendees (former fans) standing up and walking out of the stadium right after the national anthem?

All they gotta' do is NOTshow the sidelines during the national anthem.

I don't know why this is so difficult.

If I am at a parade and the colors come by, I stand, remove my cover and hold it over my heart. I wrote this on a thread the other day:

When I was growing up on Navy bases, there was no question at all that if we were outside, we stopped everything we did, faced the colors, and stayed respectfully still until the ceremony was over, and those ten notes would play: “Dah Dah Dah Da Da Da Dah Dah Dah Dah!”

And nobody ever deviated from that behavior, either. Nobody watched us, but we knew we had to do, and we should do it. It was inculcated with us.

If I ever goofed around during colors, and my mother or father found out, they would have been very displeased and severe. It was all about respect. So we did it.

That said, it didn’t stop us (if we looked over and saw the Marines or Sailors marching out to the flagpole) to run at high speed to get under cover, but even if we were 10 feet away from the cover or door when it started, we would stop dead in our tracks and turn around.

“Now I know what the NFL really is.”

Isn’t it wonderful just how many “buckets of crap” Donald Trump has expoosed. As far as I am concerned all of “professional sports” can go to hell and go bankrupt!

Oh, they’re definitely concerned about that too, but they know that there are too many liberals in these crowds that won’t do that.

Wait to see if some lefties rush to fill this gap. Maybe Soros will write him a check.

So what did he lose? Free Checking? While I applaud the stand the Credit Union took, let me know when Nike, Adidas, or Under Armor start taking a similar stand like the CU.

Get a list of NFL sponsors and BOYCOTT them as well.

With all of us boycotting NFL we won't know what companies are advertising during their games.

Maybe we can find a volunteer who can watch and report the names of the companies here.

I turned off the TV and did not watch the game. Players want to be disrespectful to the symbol of this Nation, then I won’t watch the league games that support this BS. The NFC has just about “Left” my household with the liberal 49’ers, now Denver and any other team that sanctions this behavior. If a Bengals players joins this protest, that it for me and NFL until next year.
