    Eight years ago this would have been a non-issue as Football teams were in the Locker Rooms during the national anthem. It was the Government that encouraged the the NFL to put on displays of patriotism before the game in 2009. So I guess this would all be Obama's fault, right?
    True.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    So you are saying they don't get enough coverage?

    I never said it was a move to cancel the anthem. ITs the "National Anthem".

    It's an organized political movement ( by a bunch of spoiled millionaires) .

    If they want to help fight racism, do something productive,
    not disrespect the flag and the entire country for which it stands.

    They can donate their time and money to help inner city Baltimore for ex.
    I'm sorry but I fail in seeing how someone making a protest statement at a public event in anyway undermines our government or our nation or is in any way some grand conspiracy.

    Yet you admire Kaepernick and deride Tebow, right?

    And are you seriously telling me that nobody implied the idiots in Charlottesville had no right to march?

    It's not a "conspiracy" it clearly is a political movement. It doesn't "undermine" it does show grotesque over-reaching disrespect for the flag and the anthem. The best solution is to boycott them.
    But the NFL is in the middle of a political situation here, whether Goodell likes it or not

    I fail to see where noise mentioned conspiracy or claimed the naughty kneelers undermine our government or our nation.

    Looks like a religious bigot is denigrating Tebow for his faith, doesn't it?

    For those of you who keep getting DUPED by your hero Rump!

    Notice that every time real news is pointing out the failures of the Rump Administration,

    Your King dives into some unimportant culture war to rile up his easily duped base.

    North Korea calls Rump a Dotard or he fails to Shepard an Obamacare repeal in Congress... He calls out NFL players for kneeling instead of standing.

    If his fake Muslim Ban gets shot down, he calls those who march with NAZI's fine people.

    If more connection between him and the Russians leaks... he starts a fight with some celebrity.

    LOL, you must have "duped" tattooed on your wrist. I can tell because you haven't misspelled it yet.
