On another note, there are a few foreign born players who took a knee, they don't mind the big pile of American money.

I wouldn't call letting your QB get sacked over and over a 'peaceful; protest'.

Didn't take long for Jerry Jones to figure out he was losing money did it? The price of one beer is enough to boycott any pro sport, oh yeah and $200 seats.

THE NFL AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

THE NFL PLAYERS MANUAL

The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

So, according to that paragraph, players must be on the sidelines during the national anthem and should stand for it. However, at the end of that paragraph, you'll see that it uses the word may -- not will -- when addressing the topic of fining or suspending players who aren't on the field. Also of note: The topic of fines and suspensions is only addressed in the context of failing to be on the field by the start of the anthem. The topic is not addressed in the context of failing to stand for the anthem.

ARE THESE IDIOTS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE LANGUAGE??? i.e. Bill Clinton I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN LET S STOP THE HORSE MANURE EITHER YOU STAND AND RESPECT OUR COUNTRY AND FLAG, OR LEAVE AND GO TO WHEREVER YOU CAN DO SO. IF YOU CAN T, THEN GET OUT!!!!

MEANWHILE, BOYCOTT THE NFL AND THEIR SPOILED MILLIONAIRES OCTOBER 12th
