DON'T play the national anthem.
DON'T fly the USA flag.
Without these symbols of patriotism present, what are the dumba$$es going to do?
This is not capitulation, this is safe guarding the flag from blatant disrespect!
The kneelers have nothing to genuflect against and will undoubtedly wet themselves.

This is for all those who say “Screw yhe NFL. I will watch college.”
Then colleges do it and “I’ll watch high school.”
You can’t run from this. It must be defeated.

Don’t get me started about Roosevelt High School. This is no surprise.
Here’s an idea. Since nobody can handle the National Anthem any more, why don’t we just stop playing it before athletic events?

It’s better to keep the Anthem and cancel athletic events. Bowing to scum never works.

I’m going to a semi-pro baseball game tonight. If they try these kneeling crap, I’m walking out as soon as the playing of the anthem is completed.

They should start replacing the The Star-Spangled Banner at sports venues with the March of the Volunteers.

No disrespect to the flagReally? Coincidence you kneel while the Anthem is playing?
If you knelt after or before the Anthem I'd simply yawn but during, no other way to interpret kneeling during except disrespect.

Looks like more players on the field than spectators in the stands.

And a lot of spectators have that Whiskey Tango Foxtrot look on their face.

Here's what I would do, if I had a kid in any league that might even hint they may kneel.
- Before the season, donate new flags to the league. I mean NICE NEW YUGE AMERICAN FLAGS. Maybe even donate a new recording of the National Anthem.
- Put a Care Of Your New American Flag manual in there, with a letter plainly stating the flags may be removed if the League fails in the Care of the Flag.
- The moment 'Coach' calls for a kneel, just shout "STOP RIGHT NOW." Take my kid off the field on the spot, and jerk the slack out of 'Coach' for disrespecting the flag. Take the flag down NOW. If you cannot respect the flag, you will not HAVE any flag to disrespect.
- When 'Coach' complains, just tell him respect the flag and get off your knee! I donated that flag, I donated that sound equipment, I donated that recording of the National Anthem. And it's going home with me and my kid if you don't stand up straight and put your hand over your heart.
- Then when 'Coach' realizes he's been publically shamed and loses his schizz, tell him right there: What'cha gonna do 'Coach', call the po-po you disfunded?
This is how this kind of nonsense was taken care of in the old days, when hippies would disrupt Little League. Now it's the damn coaches! *spit*
These kids are going to be confused and dismayed when NFL and MLB fans ERUPT with boos at anyone on the field on their knees.
Hey if the League wants to self-destruct because the football players can't understand they are there to play a game - a game - then at least they will bear the shame.

Watch Tucker’s opening comments from last nightHe's right, in just about every single particular. Glad someone is willing to say it.

ALL of these kids have phones, Snapchat, Insta, etc, and will obey what the Device tells them they must do. What their parents say, what our founding documents say, what simple logic says makes no difference whatsoever.
____________________________________________
I was wondering about parents in this case...
I am sure that some players told their parents...
I refuse to believe that all parents support kneeling...
Should parents prohibit their son from playing if he wants to kneel with his teammates?
Or should they respect the son’s decision?
