This was my first thought when I heard the ruling. After letting the protests go with no action for so long they are just poking the bear at this point. I'm guessing there will be players protesting in new ways, kneeling and paying fines, etc.

Staying in the locker room is allowed, which is still a form of protesting to me, so I still won’t be watching

they should keep their asses in the locker room thru the whole game.

WaPo - Kaiser Poll:

It’s never appropriate to kneel during the national anthem as a form of protest.

Republicans: 86% agree
Independents: 51% agree
Democrats: 29% agree

Age 50 and older: 63% agree
Age 30 - 49: 50% agree
Age 18 - 29: 38% agree

Of course middle-aged independents turned in the least politically biased results. If we could just figure out what to do with older Republicans and younger Democrats, we might be able to move forward with some reasonable compromises.

why should we compromise with disrespectful pos that don't want to stand for the flag of the nation that gives them the opportunity to play a game and make millions of $$$$per year. I say hike their azzes to another country and
try it. see how far they get.

No matter how you spin it, not one protester said they chose to kneel to disrespect the flag. The original protester CONSULTED a Green Beret, and he said there was no intended disrespect. Just 11 hours ago Nate Boyer himself retweeted that he suggested that Kaepernick kneel as a meeting in the middle. NOTHING DISRESPECTFUL.

Players weren't even on the field until when?

It's about money. Not Patriotism

Are you surprised with Boyer as well? I was quoting the GREEN BERET that came to the compromise with him after RESPECTFULLY discussing the issue with him.

When your FAN base finds it to be disrespectful, it's disrespectful! The fans have spoken, causing loss of revenue.

Maybe you missed all the folks here that have said they quit the NFL... The ones here, is a small sample size compared to the rest of the country.

It must be even smaller considering 7 of the top 10 watched TV programs of 2017 were directly related to the NFL.

That is actually UP from 2016 ...
