NFL may change anthem policy next season...
if players continue to protest. IMO, it's great news. regardless of how symbolic the anthem is, when you have a bunch of millionaires protesting in front of a crowd that averages about 40K a year in income, it is truly a slap in the face to the ones in paid attendance.

Without getting political the free market has always allowed the opportunity to make more money and provided less protection for the worker.
The state/feds tend to pay less and offer more protection in civil rights/social matters.

I always remember every game I watch how much better people they are than I, so I'm thankful of that

It's like parenting small children. Would be effective. Good move, if needed.

Or you know they could change it back to the players not even being required on the field while the anthem is playing. They only had the players out on the field since 2009. Before that it was completely optional.

Ya bet let Marshawn out to stand for the Mexican anthem because you know they have such better morals than America.

They have NEVER been "patriotic"....it took the DOD paying them millions to get the players out there, standing, for the anthem. It's a sham...a photo op. Like any good marketing strategy...you want people to associate unrelated things together...Like Papa Johns and Peyton Manning. The DOD/MIC used the NFL connection to recruit young and malleable minds to go fight their manufactured "profit wars". It worked so well...that the two are almost inseparable in less than a decade's time. You have military people boycotting the sport over something that has nothing to do with it. That's rich... This shit never happened when the NFL was actually, almost, relevant. They can burn in their greed...they mixed military propaganda with their product and can suffer the consequences. The NFL is dead...and justifiably so. Last edited by BlackOp; 11-21-2017 at 11:50 PM.. |

People are confusing the NFL's motive for having pregame military displays. Fans were juked into believing it was an organic expression of appreciation.
It wasn't...it was strictly for profit. The NFL is, was, and will always be run by a bunch of corrupt, soul-less scumbags. |
