The players are banned from taking the knee, and must stand. As should be. No one cares if YOU sit, lol |
More like almost 50 and needed a rest. |
You’re the exact kind of person who would care bc you have nothing else. Oh and players are not banned. |
Actually they are banned from kneeling on the field during the Anthem. From their current handbook: "This season, all league and team personnel shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem. Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room until after the Anthem has been performed." |
Yes, technically there is a policy in place but Roger Goodell has already stated that no NFL player has been disciplined for violating that policy and that no player will be disciplined and he will support them. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/13/sports/football/nfl-eminem-kneel-super-bowl-halftime.html A league spokesman, Brian McCarthy, said on Sunday that the N.F.L. was aware that Eminem was going to kneel because officials “watched it during rehearsals this week.” McCarthy said that players, coaches and personnel were free to have taken a knee before Sunday’s game and that no one has been disciplined for taking a knee. |
They can't kneel and haven't on the field because they will at some point end up like Kaepernick. They made a good example of him for biting the hand that fed him when he consistently broke NFL rules. The others don't want to destroy their careers as well. I'm sure off season can go to places like S. Chicago etc. to help/protest all the black people getting murdered everyday. Just like the BLM is doing. |
It wasn’t a rule when CK started kneeling. And barely a rule now. All the NFL has done and continues to do is prove how racist they are. Same thing you are doing. |
Actually they aren’t banned. And when teams chose to stay in the locker room people like you were still pissed. |
Personally, it’s dumb they play the anthem. Imagine going to a play or a movie or a concert and we all had to stand for the anthem. This is sports not war or an inauguration. Dumb tradition. I get playing it at the Olympics or at a game between nations like World Cup, etc. but not at domestic games. |
Same people angry about the kneeling and alleged disrespect to the flag and country screamed and cried like babies when they were asked to put on a mask to help their country and protect their fellow Americans. |
Ya know... if you *force* people to stand for the flag, it means nothing. So I guess fake/blind, forced respect is more meaningful than conscientious reflection and holding the country to a higher standard.
If only you cared as much about the people the flag represents as you do the cloth it's made of. |
Facts. |
I agree. I think they need to stop it at schools as well. It's a bizarre thing to do. |
This ain't China or North Korea. We don't do forced patriotism here. Period. |
How his history of abuse has been glossed over is sickening. He disgusts me on a deep level. He should be in jail or at a minimum be afflicted with something that causes him constant pain. He's an animal. |
