It may not be a criminal offense to disobey the guidelines, but the rules should be followed...that's why they say Code violators are not good people ..

It is not a criminal offense to do a lot of things the league office penalizes players for.

Before Patriots quarterback Tom Brady led the Patriots to a comeback win over the Texans, he stood for the national anthem with one arm intertwined with wide receiver Phillip Dorsett and the other over his heart.

No dummy but they are asylum seekers that crossed our borders illegally into Canada. It was the incompetent Obama administration that offered temporary protected status to more than 50,000 Haitians displaced by the 2010 earthquake and then extending it several times. These refugees are Trump's problem not Canada's and they should be either sent back to the States or deported back to Haiti..

Back in August, the NFL denied the Cowboys' request to wear a decal on their helmets during the season ,,,that would have paid tribute to the five police officers killed a month earlier in an ambush.

The reason .........it would have been too controversial....

President Barack Obama famously neglected to put his hand over his heart, while the anthem was being played..... during the 2008 election campaign..

He explained his mistake     by saying his grandfather taught him to do this only during the pledge, and to only sing during the anthem.

(b) Conduct During Playing.—During a rendition of the national anthem—

C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and..

   ......  (2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.

Lock em up!

Here's the beginning of it, wise-A$$.....

Like I was saying, soon to be sponsored by Coke's new "Take-A-Knee" for sugar free Coke Zero and Burger King's "Kneel To The King" Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich.....

When the hell did the United States end slavery. Your entire existence depends on the enslavement of black people, till this very day, at this very moment.

And, you say the world should be grateful for 'MURICAn terror and brutality.

Yes, you are insane.

In India there are currently 18 and a half million slaves. To put that into perspective, there are six and a half million more slaves in India right now than were imported to North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands combined during the entire history of the transatlantic slave trade — 373 years, from Columbus’s discovery of the Americas to the end of the Civil War. 

Most modern slaves are held in Central and East Asia, and Central Africa. The top ten countries on the list, in total slaves, are India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, North Korea, Russia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia.

You all just keep feeding into his plan.

As crazy as it may sound, if all trump haters simply started to ignore him fully, his overall persona would shrink to the size of a peanut, and he would be forced to stick to presidential affairs.

As a Canadian, the US provides us comic relief on a daily basis with all your CNNs of the world.

The world is a truly messed up place, and every one of us should be grateful that we live in North America, where we take our freedom and safety mostly for granted.


Speak for yourself. The United States is a dangerous, violent place full of gun nuts, and extremists who would kill a church congregation for having the wrong skin color.

Interesting that the "wrong" skin color is traveling 1,000 miles on an inner tube to come here illegally.

Jerry Jones' kneeling with the Cowboys players came as a big surprise to me.  A group tied to Jones gave $1 million to help fund Trump's inauguration.

Some fans have threatened to boycott the NFL over players’ protests during the national anthem. Titans tight end Delanie Walker has a message for them:    Bye!

“First off, I’m going to say this: We’re not disrespecting the military'''

“And the fans that don’t want to come to the game? I mean, OK. Bye. I mean, if you feel that’s something, we’re disrespecting you, don’t come to the game. You don’t have to. No one’s telling you to come to the game. It’s your freedom of choice to do that.”


Looks like Delaine Walker doesn't quite understand where the revenue stream comes from...

Hey Delaine...you and your NFL pals have already had an effect on the fans ..and they are saying BYE!

Stubhub is advertising 10% discount on NFL tickets and DirecTV is offering refunds on its Sunday Ticket NFL package to those offended by protests during the playing of the national anthem..

Tonight's thur. night game is at GreenBay chicago vs green bay.AAron Rogers the GB QB says that all the fans should stand and lock arms during the anthem.AAron,you stupid person,the fans aren't going to give your sorry assss cover for your anti-American song/dance.The fans should stand up,cover their heart or be respectful,and sing the song if they know the words. Or maybe meditate on what an Idiotic Tool Kap has proven to be.
