From @POTUS: "I dont think people should be staying in the locker rooms. . . . You have to stand proudly for the national anthem, or you shouldnt be playing, you shouldnt be there. Maybe you shouldnt be in the country. You have to stand proudly for the national anthem.

Cool

Trump needs to leave. He doesn't deserve to run this country, or any country for that matter, and should go to one of the dictatorships he loves so much.

Dear sweet Jesus THIS

Liberals/Democrats have their fair share of hypocrisies, but the biggest, most infuriating hypocrisy in American politics for my money is small government, except for forced patriotism, regulating our marriages, regulating our bedrooms, regulating our bathrooms, regulating our bodies, etc so that everything I see fits my worldview

Drives me fucking crazy

I worked the sidelines for a football game once as a cameraman. During the anthem, I like to always get shots of the crowd and players like you know every sport does that's broadcasted.

Well some dickhead cop came up to me and chewed me out cause I was doing my job. He said he would have beat my ass if he wasn't a cop cause I didn't stop what I was doing to respect the flag.

Maybe I should be deported then.

I'm required to stand and salute for the anthem because I joined the US military.

Everyday private citizen Gary Stu shouldn't be threatened with deportation from their home country for not saluting or for kneeling (arguably a sign of respect depending on context but obviously not here).

But this authoritarian bullshit makes Trump look like a wannabe Kim Jong-Un

I'm not concerned because the courts would quickly and viciously strike down any attempt to make that kind of bullshit federal or state law

America's institutions are inclusive. And they are too strong for legitimate fascists to take power. But we will edge nearer and nearer to fascism as long as republicans are in powerm

Well, Capn is right to the degree that Trumps followers are, unfortunately, a lot.

Id say certainly not the majority, though.

Never in a million billion years would I think you should, under threat of deportation, be made to stand for the anthem.

I think you should WILLINGLY and OF YOUR OWN VOLITION stand and salute but it's your freedom to not.

He's not looking to literally deport them. Obviously they have the right not to.

It's more of a general statement.

Sort of like an employer may say, "if you don't like the work you do, maybe this isn't the right fit for you".

He's not firing you. He can just tell you're unhappy with the type of work you do

Compelling patriotism cheapens it. You'll never know whether that player standing with his hand over his heart is genuinely honoring the anthem or going through the motions so as to not get fined or singled out for criticism from the president.

forced patriotism is anything but, it's nationalism and it's not a good thing.

i can't wait for this to severely backfire. the players will either all stay in the locker rooms or they'll come up with a new way to "protest" like turning their backs, or something of that nature.

Trump wants to desperately expand the power of the security apparatus to challenge free speech not in favor of his admin or right wing "values, sad thing is most of the majority demo would support him on this because it would disproportionately affect non Whites and left wing Whites who they consider blank lovers and self hating anyway.
