NFL To Require Players To Stand For National Anthem Or Stay In Locker Room

Smokeroom:

The NFL officially passed new national anthem rules Wednesday after two years of protests.

Players will be required to stand or stay in the locker room. Players who disrespect the anthem on the field can be punished, but teams are allowed to cultivate their own way to deal with that problem if it were to arise. more

  1. It does show that it was hurting them economically or they would not have made this move. All last year they were making other excuses for the lack of fans and revenue. Like Hillary said “Gotta make them heal………”

  2. The only reason Goodell did this is because they saw the financial ruin awaiting them if they continued appeasing the leftists. The NFL believed the main stream propaganda ministry that NFL fans were ready to embrace identity politics but they bet on the wrong horse. The NFL is just another soulless virtue-signalling corporation. They are unpatriotic and would sell out the USA if they thought they would profit from it. It’s too late to win back the affection of millions of fans, myself included. We see the truth of who they are. The NFL is obviously panicking and with good reason. I hope they go bankrupt.

  3. Roger Goodell and the owners are mooning the President. This is a major defeat for Don.

    Announcers will cheerfully say, “—-, —-,+—- will not honor the flag nor the anthem of a racist, white supremacist country. So they are staying away when the flag is raised and the anthem is played.

    The next day; Deadspin, Sports Illustrated, …. will write how the brave, justice fighters refused to honor the flag of an oppressive country! SNL will do a show honoring these brave fighters of racism!

    If you hate America Roger Goodell has done a very good job! IF you love America Goodell just told you to “Kiss my ass! And go to Hell!”!@#$@

    I will continue my personal BOYCOT!

  4. It would be nice if entire teams of oppressed virtue signaling players stayed in the locker room and entire stadiums of patriotic fans stayed home and watched bowling on TV.

    Won’t happen of course. There will always be four or five players that will come out for the anthem and a half a stadium full of people that have never voted in their lives and couldn’t tell you who’s president nor what the three branches of government are.

  5. I am getting so much more done on my weekends now.

    Once you get beyond caring about who got traded where or locked into some Fantasy League BS, it is a little shocking how little I miss something I watched three or four days a week since I was two years old.

  6. But you can’t start cracking the whip now after so many owners locked arms with their million dollar, traumatic brain injured slaves to kneel together like so many did last year.

    Fun is fun but Master is boss. Now stand, boy.

    And at the end of the day, the NFL has pissed off everyone.

    They can replace the players but they can’t replace the fans. Sorry and disculpame London and Mexico City.

  7. It took the NFL 2 years to decide that it is right to stand for the national anthem!
    If they’re intent on making gestures, how about removing “national’ from their name and changing to the GFL?

    It would more appropriately be labelled the Gangsta Football League since the players reflex was to insult and demean their own country and needed two YEARS and then a RULE that threatens FINES in order for them to do something that elementary school children could’ve taught them.
    Assuming those children weren’t indoctrinated into the obama “every country thinks it’s exceptional” school of division/destruction/treason.

  8. After the ballers’ union gets through with this, all players on all teams are going to stay off the field until the crowd cheers the anthem. And the NFL will think the controversy is over.

  9. I might return only after the other players who respect our nation and our flag kick the bastards who stay in the lacker room off the team. But even that might not be enough.to bring me back. And kicking the bastards out might only happen after salaries drop by at least 2/3s.

  10. You can’t force people to stand and show respect. They either have respect or they do not. Fining these millionaires amounts to bullshit. They don’t care. Best way to handle this NFL crap is to ignore them. I didn’t watch a game all last season. I also noticed a very poor showing at the annual Super Bowl party at our local KofC, Elks, and American Legion. Just sayin.’
