I just sent an e-mail off to the KC Chiefs--others should do the same for their local team

    No. No one has to stand for the pledge of allegiance or the national anthem. To say that they must is unpatriotic and only plastic patriots think they must.

    Good news now. Hufpo is reporting that the KC game had the lowest TV viewership for a season opener in years. Maybe the fool Godell will get some back bone and tell the anti American fools that play to respect the flag, or get out.

    The NFL runs on ad money and if they dont get much thing will change fast.

    That statement looks nice but what do ball games have to with showing respect to this nation?

    I guess you don't follow football. Ever hear of CTE? The fact that the NFL knew about it and denied knowing about and pledged millions for studies but when the results didn't come back to their liking they pulled out. The league and owners don't give a crap about the players.

    What would happen if we all kneeled down during the Mexican anthem at a soccer game?

    But a guy kneeling during the Anthem on national tv during a football game isn't politicizing anything. Gotcha

    No one is demanding an end to free speech, we're demanding respect and to not be offended. Isn't not offending someone at the top of the liberal whining list?

    Just another layer of the jingoistic indoctrination that starts with saying the Pledge of Allegiance in Kindergarten.

    No, I'm a conservative, I have no need for a safe space, the best I can do is subsidize. And pay for the ones the left uses. But don't ask me to respect these people when they show no respect only for you to turn around and call me a racist oppressor over my lack of respect. If these buttholes can't respect their own country then how do we expect them to respect the people in it?

    The NFL should advise its players that the field is for playing football, not for expressing political views.
