Only took you a year to get around to that dumpster fire.

How about, stand, hand over your heart, no talking, no power signs, no arms locked, etc.

Too late. Its meaningless if they are forced to do it against their will. We now see them for what they are and we don’t respect them any more.

They shot your brand in the foot. That’s just how it is.

His real message: If this situation continues, I will get fired. Therefore, let’s pretend to be patriotic.

Just make it a terminating offense to not stand. Problem solved.

For the next shoe to drop, Trump needs to ban the military from participating in any NFL event, including advertising, color guards, fly overs, anything. Pull the plug.

For the reason for his about-face, you simply need to look at his contract.

Roger Goodell Said to Be in Line for New Five-Year N.F.L. Contract, New York Times, August 21, 2017

“The level of compensation is, to a large degree, about the business health of the league and the increase in value of the franchises,” said Marc Ganis, a consultant to several N.F.L. teams. “The three biggest assignments for the commissioner are collective bargaining and matters related to the players; increasing fans’ interest; and keeping the business healthy.”

The extension, first reported by Sports Business Journal, reflects the owners’ satisfaction with Goodell’s stewardship over the business of the league.

Goodell’s compensation came into focus after the previous collective bargaining agreement was signed in 2011. The following year, the commissioner was paid $44.2 million in total compensation. That figure, released as part of the league’s annual tax filing with the Internal Revenue Service, included a $9.1 million bonus that he deferred during the recession. Even so, Goodell’s compensation was on par with that of some of the best-paid executives in the country.

Typically, Goodell has been paid a salary of about $4 million, with the rest of his compensation coming as bonuses and other benefits. Goodell’s bonus is calculated in part on new business deals he brought to the league the previous year.

In 2014, for instance, Goodell received $34.1 million even though the league was tarnished by how it handled domestic violence cases involving several star players. Yet that year, the N.F.L. also signed major sponsorship and broadcast deals, increasing the league’s total revenue.

However, there is a twist...

Report: Jerry Jones Impeding Roger Goodell Contract Extension Talks, Sports Illustrated, September 17, 2017

Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones has "impeded" contract extension negotiations for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, reports ESPN.com's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

According to the report, Jones is being labeled as the reason that Goodell has not completed the contract extension. It was thought that Goodell would have a new deal by the team this NFL season started. A conference call with the league's compensation committee is expected to take place on Wednesday. "This is about money and a guy (Goodell) making way too much money on a grossly stupid contract for the job," a source told ESPN.com.

What a coincidence! BOTH Goodell AND Jones have fallen in line and are telling the black supremacists to knock it off.

It’s in the Game Book (not the rule book as has been reported).

There are laws/rules re how to behave when our National Anthem is being played.

36 U.S.C.

Title 36 - PATRIOTIC AND NATIONAL OBSERVANCES, CEREMONIES, ANDORGANIZATIONS
Subtitle I - Patriotic and National Observances and Ceremonies
Part A - Observances and Ceremonies
CHAPTER 3 - NATIONAL ANTHEM, MOTTO, FLORAL EMBLEM1 MARCH, AND TREE
Sec. 301 - National anthem
From the U.S. Government Printing Office, www.gpo.gov

§301. National anthem
(a) Designation.—The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.
(b) Conduct During Playing.—During a rendition of the national anthem—
(1) when the flag is displayed—
(A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note;
(B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and
(C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and

(2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
(Pub. L. 105–225, Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1263; Pub. L. 110–417, [div. A], title V, §595, Oct. 14, 2008, 122 Stat. 4475.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Revised
Section

301(b) 36:171. June 22, 1942, ch. 435, §6, 56 Stat. 380; Dec. 22, 1942, ch. 806, §6, 56 Stat. 1077; July 7, 1976, Pub. L. 94–344, §1(18), 90 Stat. 812.
Amendments
2008—Subsec. (b)(1)(A) to (C). Pub. L. 110–417 added subpars. (A) to (C) and struck out former subpars. (A) to (C) which read as follows:
“(A) all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart;
“(B) men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and
“(C) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note.

If the NFL thugs and owners don’t like the national laws re respect to our flag and national anthem. They should get them changed, like those, who don’t like our immigration laws should do instead of breaking the laws.

Stand up, sit down, take a flying leap off the stadium.

It’s your right to protest, and mine to protest against the NFL and spoiled liberal athletes.

“Roger Goodell tells NFL owners ‘everyone should stand for the national anthem’”

still too chickenshit to use the “must” word.

Doesn’t go far enough. Players should stand for the anthem, and also make no gestures or statements concerning political or social issues while involved in any team activity.

If they want to protest, all of it should take place away from their jobs as performers. (And they should understand that protesting away from their jobs can also cost them fans.)

Remember when Karl Rove assured us all that Trump would surely lose on this issue?

LOL.

Goodell should be immediately fired or forced to resign. Everything rises and falls on leadership. He FAILED to nip this in the bud at the first disrespect. His leadership FAILURE destroyed the NFL. The water is now out of the bottle and isn't going back in.

That said, I am thankful that his failed leadership has exposed the NFL as a leftist anti-American institution. NFL players should prepare for at least a 50% pay cut on their next contract. They can blame that on their fellow protesters, the Commissioner, and the team owners. It will be GREAT to watch the anguish when this happens.

Only after Trump threatens to throw out NFL tax exempt status.
