NFL Owners May Require Players to Stand For National Anthem

Bars not showing games, fans not attending games, advertisers being boycotted. The NFL must be really kicking themselves in the rear.

Now THAT's the way to protest. Whatever it is you want to protest, for God's Sake protest it with your dollars! No one gives a damn about the Anthem except 19-year-olds charging a hill to protect United Fruit's profits , but dollars, that's a different kettle of fish. And the beauty here is you have an excuse not to buy junk. The trash Police cars can be replaced with Porsches or Nissans! Faster better cars, and get your point across at the same time. What could be better than that!

Doesn't this just make your anarcho-capitalist blood boil!

Oh no. The misuse of government bonds to finance the personal fiefdoms of robber barons running their own little fiefdoms is one of the last great games to get in on since the days of railroad expansion under the guise of the public good. I missed out on that one too.

Interesting how dismissive you are of some of this since it clearly should be a lefty issue. You might need to educate yourself a bit by putting your bellbottoms on and taking that copy of Mao's Little Red Book out of the rear pocket. Probably been a while. But then again maybe not. You might keep it right by your bedstand next to OPRAH magazine.

What they need to do and could actually help themselves is to fire all the kneelers, bring up the players that got cut during pre-season and move on

Great idea. In the NFL coaching and having a capable QB take you a long way. The average career is 4 years, not that different from college. The vast majority of players are easily replaceable, if not immediately, in a year or two. Players and their union talk big but few are going to be willing to walk away from multimillion dollar contracts. Particularly when their backup career options max out at personal trainer.

You know so much less about the law than you think.

Multiple times I myself or my clients have declined to respond to subpoenas and not been challenged. Or won.

I realize you don't believe in the constitution but thankfully your view of the world is wrong. Luckily we still have constitutional rights.

As far as paying income taxes... if you were a man and not a sheep you would be against them.

And you have a choice whether to pay taxes or not, and whether to respond to a subpeona. What a marvelous country! I love choices, don't you?

Too late. They've already shown their true colors. Any redacting/recanting they do now will be purely for $$$. (Jerry Jones and the Cowboys can kiss my white ass!)

Had enough of paying to watch "rich black guys play'n sports", piss'n-moan'n about how "whitey ain't fair". I'm no longer going to attend games... not watching on TV to be "marketed to because I've got some money to spend", either.

Fuck the NFL!! (NBA too, for that matter.)

BLM? "Mattering" less and less to me each day as time goes by.

These are real men,not them cowards on the field.
