Mahmoud abdul raouf suspended right after his stunt by the NBA. They forced him to stand and bow his head.



The NFL fined Ryan Clark $5000 dollars for putting 21 on his eyeblack in remembrance of Sean Taylor


Brandon Marshall was fined for wearing green cleats for mental health awareness month $5,250


Troy Polamalu was taken out of the game due to suspician of a concussion and was fined $10000 for using a cell phone to call his wife and tell her he was ok




CK disrespects the country-Priceless apparently

He should be punished for being criminally overpaid.

Why would they? He's free to be a moron on his own.

Unless his contract says he has to stand, it's his right to sit. He's an a-hole and his reasoning is iffy at best but he can do it because this is America.

I mean, he's basically done anyways, the situation will quickly solve itself.

I'm sure Chip Kelly's autistic arse will probably use this as an excuse to cut him.

His punishment is coming from the court of public opinion.

It's not explicitly written but would anyone be surprised if Roger rolled it into conduct detrimental to the league.

I don't agree with Kaepernick politically, but he has every right to do what he did. He has the right to look like an arse. I don't expect the NFL to do anything, nor should they do anything.



I'm more disgusted by the NFL disallowing the Cowboys to pay tribute to the slain officers by wearing the little helmet sticker. Yet they'll be the first to sell millions in pink merchandise to "raise breast cancer awareness."

If Kaep should be punished for not standing during the national anthem, then you should be punished for posting this OP.

Can we stop caring about athletes' political opinions?

He's washed up, so he's now looking for a payout by enticing a firing/reprimand from the team/NFL, etc.

Because this is America and also because paying the national anthem before every single sports game is idiotic and cheapens the anthem so who really cares
