I never have understood grown men watching grown men have fun when they could be doing something fun themselves. It slays me when my buddies say they can't go hunting or fishing because they are watching a football game instead.

Your choice.
So when a team hires a rapist (or some other extreme example) I don't want to see any judging the team.
Rothlisberger settled like 3 rape cases in one summer.
Ray Lewis did a jail term for ...... MURDER
The NFL is full of thugs (Vick, Carruth) and sexual predators (Peyton, Big Ben)
I almost forgot about Darren Sharper total creepLast edited by texansfan; 09-25-2017, 12:59 PM.

Be president and STFU. Surely he has more important things to do with his time?

D-heads kneeling at a football game don't really effect me.....having to pay our $15K+ yearly for the BS health insurance that obamacare steamrolled effects me! I'm bothered more by having to Press 1 for English and my astronomical tax rate than those d-heads kneeling at a football game.
Besides, it's congress who needs to get to work on health care and tax reform.

Originally posted by Clay C View PostYup. A whole lot of thugs in the NFL for sure. It's made up of a majority of people who wouldn't be able to work in any other environment that were made millionaires over night for being athletic. Which is partly why this whole thing is so annoying. Joe blow who works his A$# off to support his wife and kids is being told by a bunch of millionaires, many of who would probably be unemployable without the NFL, that the country he loves and pays taxes to isn't worth standing for.

You can't force someone to stand for the pledge of allegiance nor put their hand over their heart during star spangled banner
Or bow their head during a prayer.
Find another reason to fire them but you better not list those as a reason.
Also, the NFL league rule book states:
"The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses."
So, if the NFL doesn't fine the player and the team for said infraction, and the owner won't enforce the fact that part of what they are paid to do is to adhere to all NFL rules, the problem is much bigger than some whiney overpaid diva who wouldn't cut it in a real battle.
Big wimps, most run off the field as soon as they get a mild sprain.

It is a part of the game operations manual, which is distributed to all 32 teams, according to NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy.
McCarthy said that the policy has been in place for several years, pre-dating protests that began during the 2016 season.
"It’s policy, it’s not a rule. I think where people are getting confused is, rules, that’s like holding or defensive pass interference, that’s a rule. This is policy," McCarthy said.
McCarthy confirmed that the league will not assess penalties to players who either did not take the field for the anthem or who protested
I've heard countless NFL players stating that they want to show team unity and that's why they locked arms and even placed their hand on the players kneeling. Well that's not what the American people want....we want you to show unity to the country and to the flag above all else! We could give two craps about your team unity. If you have an unpatriotic piece of garbage on the team why would you want to be unified with him. The idiots just don't get it.
Dang shame the NFL is run by wimpy, PC libtarbs who can't see they are killing their own brand. To heck with them.
