Perhaps the players will remain in the locker room until after the national anthem is badly sung. |

So, you are saying that it's Trump's fault that paid athletes are required to show respect to the flag and national anthem? Why would I ever expect a different response from you? :-) |

Perhaps you could explain how showing disrespect for the American flag should improve the harmony between the races in this country. |

The left is sure to bitch about restricting First Amendment rights. The first amendment protects people from the government restricting free speech. It has nothing to do with what a private enterprise can do. Go tell your boss he is an asshole and see how long you work there. |

The first amendment protects people from the government restricting free speech. It has nothing to do with what a private enterprise can do. Go tell your boss he is an asshole and see how long you work there. The NFL owners showed their lack of balls by caving into a mob boss POTUS. All workers, including football players, have rights protected by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. The law protects the rights of workers to engage in "concerted activity for mutual aid and protection," whether in the workplace or not. Take note of the fact the NFL did not say players had to stand for the pledge or anthem, and that they could remain in the lockers rooms. The NFL cannot impose such a regulation with it being bargained collectively. It's too bad that this is a country under Trump where false patriotism has to be imposed, and that it is not a country where true patriotism is exhibited because people desire to do so. The "kneel" protest was never about patriotism in any case, but about police brutality aimed at minorities. What's going on with the NFL is very much reminiscent of what the German and Soviet dictatorships did to enforce false patriotism. What's next for Trump, imposition of Christianity as a national religion, with crowds being forced to bow to a false god? Amazing how your prejudiced mind works. The NFL did not "cave" to Trump. They caved to the millions of NFL fans across the country who were disgusted with the antics of highly paid athletes and boycotted watching or attending NFL games. It was a financial decision, not pressure from Trump. He agreed with the fans, made it known but has no control over what the NFL or the team owners do. |
