If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL,or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect....

...our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem. If not, YOU'RE FIRED. Find something else to do!

If standing for the Anthem is not required by their contract, can they be "fired?

I disagree with WHY they are not standing. But if they were not standing in protest of the NSA or some other government attack on our liberty I would support them.

Our culture of lack of respect is rampant and encouraged. The only respect folks want is what they receive not what they give.

Fan response is all that matters.

I think everyone expected the owners to say this, especially NY and SF.

It will be interesting to see who this affects more negatively.

I'd pray that Dak Prescott & Ezekial Elliot ,with their valuable contracts, would kneel to see Jerry Jones squirm like the snake he is.

The responses from the commissioner, owners and player so far are incredibly naive in what's about to unfold.

I hope the number of disrespectful, anti-americans, kneel to trigger a massive backlash in attendance, viewing and ticket sales going forward.

Tomorrow can't get here soon enough, I'm dying to watch the dummies shite the bed..

I am now convinced Trump takes dares from his friends.

"Bet you won't come out against the NFL player anthem protests. They would lose their minds."

"Lol. Done. Enjoy."

Here's how you fix this whole thing. Announce over the PA before the game, "please stand, sit, or kneel to honor our national anthem."

The stupid hood rat players wouldn't know what to do and the trailer trash redneck fans would have their butthurt soothed.

What cop got away with murder? Damn near every cop that had to use lethal force was justified and cleared.

You are part of this racial problem. You believe what you are told. You don't listen to facts.

Just because they are cleared doesn’t mean they are right in their actions.

Philando Castile? Tamir Rice?

Exactly. Jones has proven in the past to be pushover for star players.

Tamil Rice had and reached for a gun. It was fake but the officer could not tell because the orange tip was removed or colored. Sounds like suicide by cop. I'd say it was unfortunate but justified. The cop could not tell it was fake.

Philander Castile had a gun in his pocked. He told the cop he had a gun. The cop told him not to reach for it. What happened between them and the time Castile was shot I don't know. The cop was charged and later acquitted. I don't have any other facts. But that's how our justice system works.

If you have a gun on you and a cop says don't reach for it you don't reach for it.
