NFL Owners May Require Players to Stand For National Anthem

[Good1]

I just don't think it would be wise to associate FORCE (offensive aggression) with the flag, certainly not in this situation. The anthem itself is an ode to defense.

So, setting offense aside (the game hasn't even started yet), the flag should be about common ground that everyone can agree on.

Since the lyrics don't give enough common ground anymore, perhaps the common ground should be stated, over the loudspeaker, prior to the spectacle of singers flexing throat muscles.

Another solution that i should not have to think of:

They should have a playoff, like an all-star game, made up of teams that represent Kneelers vs Standers. The winner of the game creates the rule for the rest of the year, requiring everyone to stand, or allowing kneelers to kneel.

Except for every other company built using tax payers money (via tax breaks, which is what we're talking about here) not having to feel said heat.

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

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. The hungry guys won't be kneeling and we would all see that there are plenty of people that can play ball at this level. Couple of bad days at camp doesn't mean they're not NFL material. Not only would this work to oust the thug defenders, it would probably improve the game itself.

Dream on.

it is also help in the form of state and municipal bonds being used to finance the stadiums then the exemption on federal taxes on the bond income.

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

Players have a choice. NFL owners have a choice. Fans have a choice.
That is what is great about this country.

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?

I love this idea of turning the NFL into a rat maze, with small electric shocks for those that make the wrong turn! Grand idea!
