I'm not the one making the claim like a whiney-@ssed little b!tch. Laughing at the hypocritical j@ck@asses that say they won't watch NFL because a tiny fraction of the players are doing what they are doing. |

Nobody stands in front of a tv and puts their hand over their heart during the anthem. Not even Trumpkins. Why are you tryin to make something out of nothing? _________________ When liberal heads explode, there's not much of a mess to clean up. |

You don't recall a draft dodger with a bad spray tan launching a petition about standing for the National Anthem ''to show your patriotism and support,"? Do Trumpkins believe they are exempt from this show of respect and that this should only apply to NFL players? |

DAMMMN dude you are really grasping at any straws you can with this one. No one other than Military stands for NA at an offsite location. _________________

This is sheer desperation, and paranoia on your part. Grasping at straws is an understatement. If you run across definitive proof of a "Trumpkin" burning an American flag, or being disrespectful to our flag in any way, let me know, uh.
Good luck with that one. _________________ IN GOD WE TRUST!

What's the difference between an NFL player standing for the National Anthem at a game vesrsus someone watching the same performance at their house? |

Just pointing out your hypocrisy. BTW, why have you stopped caring about the Labor Participation Rate and what the "real unemployment rate" is?

I always stand for the pre-race-game prayer and Anthem at various venues. I only do it for the respect for those that have some emotional need for that sort of thing. I do not salute or hold my hand over my heart or anything like that. I typically just stand and look around. I've noticed that there are a lot of people that are doing the same. In the cases of the NFL players they have a legitimate statement to make and I agree with their rights to make their statements any way they like. I believe they are covered via the 1st Amendment. Would any true Constitution thumping individual be opposed to that? And speaking of burning a flag, that is the proper way of disposing of a worn and tattered flag. But even if it's not done for that purpose it is still a 1st Amendment protected right as adjudicated by the SCOTUS. I'll stand for that, too.

Actually, one could even take a step back and ask why we play the anthem at sporting events in the first place. The anthem is rarely played at any other live events that include large crowds: concerts, plays, beauty pageants, court hearings, meetings, community events. None of them. Only sports.
So why are sporting events singled out as the only kind of live event that merits the anthem? |
