Snoslinger Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) hopefully this backfires and draws more attention to the protesters. I read where one coaching staff member offered to pay the fines for the players. it'd also be funny as hell if more people stop watching the NFL than prior. the idea of treating the players like elementary school kids is pathetic. it's actually worse than that. the only people that should be forced to show patronage to the flag is the military.

I don’t think a good businessman wants to alienate ANY of his paying customers if he can help it. But yeah, lot of empty seats last year.

Pete Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 There's reportedly one big reason why the NFL took sweeping action Wednesday in adopting a new national anthem policy prior to the start of the 2018 season. And he resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington. “Our league is f-----g terrified of Trump. We're scared of him,” one unnamed source told Bleacher Report as reaction to the plan poured in.

Angry ginger Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 SMH trump stirred up a hornets nest that was pretty much ignored to stir up his emotional supporters. FTR i don't give a fuck if you stand or kneel or sit, I also DGAF if the NFL tells player what the rules in their job are when you consider we all have them.
