re: One NFL owner orders players to stand for US Anthem

I can see an owner saying that he expects or wants all staff to stand, but to demand the players stand and sing is pretty brazen and seems like an easy way to ruffle some feathers. Especially when you do not have a legal land to stand on (CBA).

Exactly. The league office simply "encourages players to stand" but nobody has to stand.

Which is why this protest isn't much of a protest.

And for an owner to require reeks of a workplace violation by an employer.
