Raiders coach Jack Del Rio told SFGate.com that Lynch's disrespectful behavior is not an issue for the football team.
He said, This is something I have done for 11 years. Its not a form of anything other than me being myself, Del Rio said. I told him I very strongly believe in standing for the national anthem. But I respect him as a man and he can do his thing."
Well, that doesn't speak very well of Coach Del Rio's character either. The coach respects a man who disrespects the country?
I suspect this will not be the last episode of anti-American activity at NFL games. So I recommend head coaches take immediate action to deter such behavior.
If you ride the bench during the Star-Spangled Banner, you should ride the bench for the rest of season.
It would be a gutsy move -- but unlikely -- considering the lack of courage and patriotism in the National Football League.

“Unpatriotic”? Try racist and insulting.
No guts, no glory ... looks like I’ll be sitting another season out ...
We will not be watching again this year.

“If you ride the bench during the Star-Spangled Banner, you should ride the bench for the rest of season.”
Ride the bench and still take home that NFL paycheck?
You do that, and they will all sit for the National Anthem.
Oh, they won't?
Oh well.
Not really going to worry about it because we no longer support any NFL team.
They failed last year to do anything.
I don’t care what they do this year or any year.
The NFL is dead to me.
Good bye NFL and ESPN...
And good riddance.
I lost interest in the NFL about 20 years ago. It's an addiction that takes about 2.5 weeks to shake. Here's hoping another 10 or 15 percent of the fans shake that addiction in 2017.
It says right here, once you expunge the NFL from your life, an entire new autumn world opens up to you.
It also repays the effort when someone at work asks if you saw the game yesterday and you can answer, "No, the NFL bores the hell out of me." Reactions to that are beyond priceless.
NFL and Del Rio are signaling they don’t want your money or support.
Without swift and effective disciplinary action this mutiny will grow.
I guess the NFL is choosing to lose assloads of money.
Earlier this summer, I decided to lift my personal two-year ban on NFL games for this season, and was actually looking forward to this season. It’s now been extended until the NFL does something to rein in their players, which was why I began the ban in the first place.
I know what I’ll be doing this Super Bowl: not watching it for the 28th straight year.
I predict Rodger will get his pumpkin splashed before this gets fixed. Probably angry team owner. Roger sucks.
i will NOT attend or patronize NFL now!
i will NOT pay large sums of hard-earned $$$ to be INSULTED or to have our country insulted by a bunch of insulting jerks ——VERY VERY VERY HIGHLY OVERPAID “grown men” playing a children’s game
fire the anti-American jerks!
If their viewership is down, they will again be “puzzled”.
