I don't think it's "staggeringly complicated" at all! FORCING people to stand for something completely negates the point. ----------------------------------- - Stay in the locker room
- Stand for the anthem - Kneel and get a fine
They have 3 choices, 2 of them are non-standing choices, so hardly being forced.
-------------------------------------------- Are either of those analogous to a player kneeling BEFORE the game? -------------------------------------------- OK, I go to my workplace, clock in, but before I start work I go to the companies lobby where potential customers or clients may be and hold up a protest sign while wearing a shirt with company logo on it, you are OK with that? It's before I started working.
If the players want to go to a public place burn flags, pray, spit in the wind or any other action on their dime, and NFL wants to take action against them, I would call unfair. They are asking to use the NFL to support their protest while wearing the NFL uniform, on an NFL network at a NFL sponsored event, the NFL has a right to say not on our dime.
