COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Think its time for a league wide boycott from the players. 

I doubt that will happen. These players aren’t going to want to mess up their money.

Now, what’s probably going to happen is more protests and public stances by those in the stands. Some of the fans will take more of a stance, now. 

Youre going to see normal joes in the stands sitting during the anthem. You’re going to see a lot of that. You’ll see protests outside of the stadiums. You’ll see many give up football.

These are the same type of people who cry and cry about the 2nd amendment after a psychopath easily obtains a gun, usually an assault style weapon and randomly murders 13 innocent people resulting in an uproar for gun control. The  2nd amendment was created in 1791 when the guns used took like 20 mins to load one bullet and were obviously nowhere near the level of destruction and deadliness they are now. Also the same crybaby snowflakes who counter the gun control argument with an idiotic rebuttal like “well garage doors kill people too let’s ban all garage doors” LMAO. 

I'm with you on the flag kneeling. We agree on that issue. However, I'm on the complete opposite of this issue with you. So I guess we will just call it even.

I'm assuming you live in South Korea, or are at least from there.

Are you allowed to do/say whatever you want at work with no consequences?

Teachers have had courts back their right to sit during the morning pledge.

I prefer my football games to be without politics and religion they should have booted the prayer and the anthem.

The NFL is full of sh*t!

You can always tell who has never worked for a big company or in a corporate setting based on how they react to this stuff. Being forced to follow your employer’s rules is not a violation of your freedom, it’s called being an employee

Assuming your talking about US here and not South Korea as those two are talking about.

Public school system?  Public schools would fall under Public sector and not private.  So they would be protected by first amendment rights.

Professional athletes are not comparable to someone working 9-5 in an office.

Eliminate the anthem.

That said, I have no major issue with the new rule...CBA coming up soon though.

I don't understand this at all.

But if you want me to be perfectly honest...they sure aren't, they are controlled quite a bit more than normal 9-5er's.
