You don't think the NFL players are "causing a political stink"?
No matter how you think of the NFL today, it will never be the same from years to come when watching
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers

True, But Unfortunately it is.. Then for the Millionaires to use the NATIONAL ANTHEM as a protest forum, by DISRESPECTING it and America, well, not a good Idea in My opinion, But hey, those that is does not bother, you can have the NFL..
Yes, they obviously are causing a stink but the NFL is forcing them on to that platform. That's what I explained in my prior post, it's a two way street. As an employer I expect that my employees won't cause a "political" disturbance. And from my side as the employer I won't ask them to conform to or act upon any political belief/cause.
If the NFL wants to keep the National Anthem as part of the game then do it prior to the players coming out on the field. Problem solved.
That may have been a Good Idea before the season started, but now the Fans we see it as the NFL bowing to the wants of the players and disregarding the wants of the Fans. Unfortunately for the NFL, they are now in a "No Win" situation..
Yeah, that is because you only look through the prism of "winning" an argument and not coming to an agreeable compromise.
If the decision was made to do the National Anthem prior to players coming out and a fan is yelling before the game, "hey make those players come out here while we are singing the National Anthem" then that fan is a moron. SC is going to do the anthem Saturday w out the players on the field and the fans won't be bothered a bit.
Like I SAID, had this been done before the season, (Which i like that the Cocks dont come out) there would not have been an issue!! Now it is!! NFL cant win with this one,, Either a majority of the Fans will disapprove or their golden goose Players will disapprove..
Neither side is going to WIN. They'll come to a compromise.
The only people that will potentially LOSE will be the losers that insist that the players be forced to stand or they'll take their ball and go home. Bye!
I am 100% sure the majority is on the side of the protestors. Demographics say so. Even many veterans, CEO sponsors, team owners, etc., have expressed support for the protestors. Everybody can keep screaming and moaning and bragging about being bigger patriots than the next guy and crying and wailing about how bad their feelings are hurt, but in the end, these are the people who have changed. America has not changed. It is still the land of the free, albeit an imperfect one which needs constant improvement moving foward, not looking back, and thank God for that fact.
Don’t they usually. I don’t know any college team that is out on the field for pre game festivities
Not so sure about this! Viewership is down 18% since 2015 when Kaepernick started his protest. I think it is a combination of people not wanting politics and sports integrated and the fact the cord cutters are growing daily. I am about to join that group as well.
Don't forget to add in empty seats too...
It's not cheap going to the NFL, but San Fran was giving away tickets for something like $15.00 per seat when I was there in late August...
If you can't standup for this flag, then maybe it's time for some Viagra to get you up...
