imo..i find it ironic and highly hypocritical that, among the
swastika waving, torch burning, neo-nazi, anti-semitic
chanters in Charlottesville, our president went to great pains
to point out there were "many good people" among them...

yet, these SONS-a-BlTCHES in the NFL ought to fired immediately..

If those idiots want to peacefully protest, I agree with the other side protesting as long as they have permit or whatever (like thw other side)

The NFL is getting paid by fans and sponsors to play football

They are on the job. They can protest on their own time.

It is hypocritical for those working to not be allowed (especially under the company name) to protest but those makong big bucks think they can

They can stay in the locker room from my understanding. When on the field...that is part of game time

Hummm but yet he is the only one that found some type of a solution on kneeling during the Anthem.......

At no time did any of the Cowboys kneel during the Anthem and he never told them they could not just that he thought they should stand out of Respect for our Military~~~

Therefore he took the stand with them and kneeled in prayer/protest which ever one wants to take it prior to the Anthem... Even tho I felt the interlocking of arms instead of their hands over their hearts was not needed... But then to them it was showing they were in agreement as a team I can still deal with that...

At least the Cowboys did not stay in their locker room during the Anthem as one of the coaches asked his team members to do all but one stayed in the locker room and the one that did come out for the Anthem the Coach dished him...

All sports have been big business for many years~~~ That is no ones fault but our own for paying the prices ect~~~

not since 2009

NFL players were not required to be on the sidelines during the playing of the U.S. national anthem for primetime games prior to 2009.

I was correcting the statement that they can stay in their locker games during the aforementioned 'patriotic festivities'

They must be on the sidelines. They cannot have personal messages written or illustrated on their person, and they cannot wear anything not preapproved.

There is no mandate to participate other than attending. There is no restriction on kneeling.

Then it is their job! No restrictions on kneeling or others against them doing it.

They get money from sponsors and fans (ticket sales, merchandise, etc).

They have a right to kneel and I have a right to be disgusted over it. What is the argument?
