Caution999 05/23/18 2:39:59 PM #94:	This is a fair compromise. Players don't have to come out to the anthem and can stay in the locker-room if they object. If they're out on the field, they can stand for the anthem. It's 2018. It's not like these players have no other means of having their voices heard. They can post under social media and sponsor campaigns or donate to other causes they're passionate about. They should be able to wear like a sticker or something, though. Something like that is fair. League won't allow that to happen unfortunately. --- "Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse, Skies of Arcadia <cite>Caution999 posted [p:901856407] in BREAKING N...
