This is NOT a smart move. Timing is everything and even the most politically oblivious sports fans are aware of the issue, and this will be considered disrepecful to the majority of citizens that cherish the national anthem and their country.
If college teams have been doing this all along, it was before Trump went public with his comments.
I love Trump for doing this because it puts not just the NFL on defense but also the fake stream media. Now they have to defend unpatriotic Patriots billionaire owners such as Kraft, and multi millionaire thug players that have richly or bigly benefited from American prosperity.
I disagree. I have every confidence that stadiums are going to start cheering “Stand Up” “Stand Up’ “Stand Up”. This sport that so many enjoy is going to perish because of idiot entertainers that have no clue where their paycheck comes from. Just keep the players away from the anthem.
Can’t wait until Hockey season starts. Watch the opening to a Chicago Black Hawks game. Gives you chills going down your spine when the Anthem is played. Amazing.
And yes, the folks that go to these games are not from the ‘hood gang banging the murder rate up, up ,up each week in Chi-Raq.
