Also, why do we need a law to do the right thing and stand up and show respect for the country that gives the NFL players the right to act like idiots? At least we haven't up until now, because there was a tradition in place that - until the left decided to politicize the national anthem - informed folks what behavior was appropriate during the anthem.

Bull shit. Your previous claimed "all the NFL fans/ticket holders" which is in effect speaking for them, NOT for yourself. In fact from the reporting, half the fans could care less. Not sure of the ticket holders though, but I am sure left to Trump, he will want the patriotic fans to teach the rest a lesson.

So who told you, you can't stand? No one, that's who. It's called "freedom". Stand all you want, nobody cares. But, stop telling others what to think and do, asshole. You want to live in a country where dictators demand patriotism from people? Fine, move to Russia and get a job shining Putins shoes.

If you conservatives wonder why we think you're ironic and stupid. It's because you are.

This rule change could not be unilaterally implemented. The players have a collective bargaining representative.

And the coach has the right to bench players if they don't comply with team norms and standards of behavior.

But if they bench important players, and lose the game, they could lose their jobs...

Doubtful that players will make the choice to be benched. It sounds like Colin K is already caving...not that his refusal to stand is the reason he's not playing.

We will see what happens won't we?
But if the fans attending the game kneel down, they will make a mockery of the NFL and Goodell. I do not watch NFL games so will have to wait till the games are over and reports come in.
