The demonstrations have become a distraction from the original target issues, and thanks to the patriotic smokescreen, an issue of no practical importance, invisible. It's probably time to shelve the gesture and highlight the abuse of authority by other means.

Which is all the NFL fans / ticket holders were asking for. Glad that there's at least one covert.

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...

All the NFL fans & ticket holders? Speak for yourself.
Let's wait and see how the imposition of a new rule sits with the players.
Besides is there a law governing what one must do while the national anthem is being played?
