Thoughts on Kaepernick & the national anthem

vintagetoppsguy · #1 09-08-2016, 01:50 PM

I was reading an article this morning about some female soccer player that was also kneeling (or maybe it was sitting) for the national anthem. The opposing home team found a way around that. They played the national anthem before the players took the field, not giving her an opportunity to kneel. Hopefully all the NFL teams will do the same.

will be tough to do that. There would be countermeasures from the players as well. Cant imagine baseball for example with the players not being able to take part in the anthem

Play it in the locker room as it plays throughout the stadium. The players can choose to sit or stand.

My name is Frank I'm having a civil discussion with some posters and ignoring others who are calling for my name. I don't feel the need to engage those posters and will continue not to.

2 things:

1). It's your FULL name
2). Yes, it's been pretty civil, but you're also giving an opinion which still requires your FULL name

This matter is closed.

It's a shame that people who engage in online discussion/conversation don't have enough conviction in their beliefs to post their full name. Just my 2�.

Actually a full name is required when giving an opinion of a person or company So just an opinion won't require a full name. That issue with that member is dead in this thread, carry on.

Then when they make a pitching change a protesting player can sit for an extra long period of time etc...always a way to protest and not be against the rules..
