Is the NFL ready for this crap? I doubt it

CEC tells them “jump”…they ask “how high?”

PS Yep…the third picture was the Chargers’ 2017 preseason game with Seattle.

Are they about to repeat the Kaepernick debacle? The one that cost them hundreds of millions of dollars when fans stayed home? It looks like they are preparing totally capitulate. And allow the disrespect of the flag in front of millions of fans who don’t appreciate it. And allow the group demonization of police. Most who are heroic and don’t deserve the hate. Since they don’t have the guts to stand up for people who put their lives on the line for them, what should they do? It’s obvious and simple. If they have the courage to do it. Tell the players. You have the right to protest. But you do not have the right to protest while you are at work. If you do not want to stand for you flag, you don’t have to. You may sit quietly in the locker room until the music stops. You do not have a right to be provocative while we’re paying you.

That’s a nice compromise that should be acceptable to everyone. Right?

Why is this in the politics forum you ask? Because it’s political.

Haven’t watched a game from any sport that allows hate of the US & dishonoring the flag since it started. Have no plans to either. Don’t miss it, don’t care any more. Maybe when they stop this absurdity I’ll consider it. For now I hope they have to lay off every player & coach.

Just want to say good job to several of you for destroying the whole poor attendance argument and how the CEC will lie to make their point. Like how I pointed out earlier they lied about Zach Ertz praying and tried to claim he was kneeling in the national anthem. I haven’t seen a beatdown like this since Ray Rice in the elevator.

Kneeling is a sign of respect has been for a thousand years across the global.
no one cares about American flag etiquette by that logic anyone wearing a flag pin is violating it.

Newsflash. Nobody, not single person is kneeling for the flag out of respect. With all due respect, this is one of the strangest, flat earth type theories I have ever heard.

Colin Kaepernick started kneeling out of respect for the veterans who were insulted by his stance regarding the flag.

Which shows he understands the difference between symbolism and substance that some people seem unable to grasp.

He seems to understand what the meaning behind America is supposed to be…whether you agree with his actual opinion of what he’s protesting is irrelevant…while others are caught up with equating symbol worship with patriotism.

It is decidedly UN-American to tell someone “You have the right to protest, but you’re not protesting in the proper manner”.

THAT shows more disrespect than almost anything I can imagine.

Does it matter ? The protest is peaceful.

For those who insist that everyone show reverence for the flag in the manner which is acceptable to you (i.e. forced patriotism), there’s always North Korea

Are they about to repeat the Kaepernick debacle?

Debacle?

NFL revenues were up in 2019

In 2020, obviously they will go down.
