They interrupted it? There was a record scratch and they stopped playing it? You couldn't hear it bc they were praying too loud... lol get off that lawn dude

I'm not saying it's bad it just that hate isn't something new in fact it's as old as the beginning of mankind.
They certainly weren't interrupting it. Much more disrespectful behavior in the stands.
Stop smoking the lawn dude!
Drawing attention to themselves and not the flag is a big deal to me.
A lot of stuff is old
Thing is the people giving them the most attention are people who are saying they shouldn't be doing it because it's disrespectful and they just want attention. Respecting the flag is actually good. But as long as youre not messing with my ability to respect the flag I guess I just don't care about how you choose to do it or not do it.
Players on the field are being paid to play people in the stands are the consumer. As much as I don't agree with the actions of those disrupting national anthem it is their prerogative since they are the payee.
ESPN is pulling an announcer by the name of Robert Lee from announcing the game he was supposed to announce
Robert Lee is Asian

I've never been bothered by someone being silent.
I try not to be the thought police and legislate the proper way for someone to express their opinion.
They are being paid to play.they are not being paid for standing for the anthem.its their perogative also.
Emplyoyers put all kinds of restrictions on employees ! That goes with any job ! No , the employers do not
Own the employees, and if employees don't like the terms of employment, they are free to find other
Employment more to their liking !
That could change on some teams or by the league itself if enough pressure is put on the NFL
Then why does the NFL , ask everyone to rise for the Natiinal Anthem ! That includes all fans ,
Players, and coaches.
Echo, I don't think that you have read the employment contracts and neither have I, but playing the
National Anthem and asking everyone to rise is an Implied term of Employment.
Have not Coaches and players, not sure of NFL, been suspended for praying on the football field ?
A lot of things that could be and should be dealt with simply are just ignored in our PC correct society !
It wasn t dealt with because there was nothing the NFL could do. It's not a negotiated term of employment.
We are a better society when people appreciate the national anthem out of their own volition rather than out of force.
So when my father slap me in back of the head when I was a kid talking during the national anthem that was wrong?
I'm not saying slapping people is the answer, but there is 23 hours and 55 minutes to do whatever.
Echo had it right when stating the national anthem should be played while the players are in their locker room this would end any debate on this.
You are a teacher so you ASK your students to do something are you saying that it is ok
For the kids to ignore you ? When I asked it was an ORDER not a request.
When my DI said Sh.. , we said: " Yes, Sir ! How Much, Sir ?
Jump. How high, Sir ?
Discipline Discipline Discipline
Maybe you should quit being the thought police and let people express themselves as they desire.

I've posted how many times?
It appears with all the restrictions teams put on their employees they are still doing it. Paying fans aren't employers though so I am not sure how that matters.
They aren't going to ignore an issue like this if there is a mechanism to deal with it in the CBA. God damn you are triggered
Ok, But be ready to not collect a paycheck. The NFL is a business. They are beholden to the owner, shareholders , and hopefully winning a title. It's one more example to make two countries.
Bravo! You nailed it. This is nothing more than deliberately defaming of a noble tradition to gain attention for their self serving causes. As was demonstrated by his play last night, Kaizer's ego far outreaches his athletic development and maturity.
The NFL willingly opens its arms for people who beat the hell out of their partners and kids, who are steroid users and other drug users, who are arrested for felonies or who obstruct in the event of a murder. I call BS on the "be ready not to collect a paycheck."
It amazes me that the NFL welcomes these type of people into their league and yet players who take a knee during the national anthem causes the snowflakes on this board to declare that they will never watch or attend an NFL game again.
"These type of people" do those actions on their own time not during the game. Maybe the "silent kneelers" should follow their lead
