They explain what it's about outside of the game, and on actual game days it's just a nonverbal gesture. Is there even any requirement stating they have to stand for the anthem? If there is, you know it's just a technicality and that's not the real reason you disapprove of it. I'm sure there are lots of minor things people violate about their jobs regularly that you don't bat an eye at. They can try to make them stand but you and I both know that these guys don't earn their checks for their ability to stand during a song. Thats just it, they arent required by the league to stand. Its encouraged but they dont have to so they arent violating any codes of conduct or anything by kneeling. If the NFL feels that theyre taking enough of a hit from a financial standpoint to actually try to make it mandatory theyll have to try when they negotiate a new deal with the players. But the NFLPA could sue on the grounds of it violating the first amendment and thus be unconstitutional. True. I dont personally think the NFL is taking that much of a financial hit behind the kneeling (despite what some sources would claim) so I dont even think the owners will bring it up. But if they wanted to that would be the place to do it, at the negotiating table. Its not for some attention hungry politician to waste time on. --- You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone. No one cares, including the person about to be ignored. Just FYI. <cite>ChaoticKnuckles posted [p:893365449] in Indiana bi...
