XFL to make a comeback

[iDeaL]

If the XFL is "staying out of political and social issues," wouldn't the logical thing be to not play the anthem before games at all?

Saying that you're going to stay out of things like that in one breath but then saying that players will be REQUIRED to stand in another breath seems kinnnnda like a contradiction. Maybe its just me.. Inb4 the people saying the anthem is not a political thing.. you would have been right about that a few years ago, but it is absolutely a politicized issue at the moment.
