Sounds like it will cause more kneeling as a form of protest against it tbh.

Cool, so the players can stay in the locker room and the people pretending to agree can go back to not caring. Works out good.

It's kinda weird how the people who recently argued that there can be consequences for your speech under freedom of speech are now really upset at their own logic being applied here. This isn't even as vitriolic or as dangerous as violent riots and protests when Ben Shapiro or other conservatives want to speak at a college campus.

And what happened to not fear mongering or being melodramatic about how minute the impact of those college campus riots were? Yet now I see some people fearmongering and being melodramatic about how prospective employers in the future would require them to pledge allegiance to the flag every morning because of this.

The rule dictates they must stand on the field during the anthem or the club gets fined.

The CEOs made this decision without talking with the player union. I'd like to imagine that a majority of the minority players would boycott this, but they probably won't.

Colin Kaepernick told them not to trust the NFL management.

With this new rule, is there any reason they won't employ Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid?

You're comparing apples to oranges.

Those people are usually talking about some idiot going on a racist tirade and their employer wanting to disassociate with that.

These are people quietly choosing to protest a flag and not bothering anybody and the only reason anybody even cared was because conservative media flipped their shit over it.

I don't know how this works.

He's mocking conservatives and you say he has salty tears? From laughing? Yes. He's laughing so hard at those people that he's crying tears.

Talk about having no real remark other than to show how butthurt you sound.

Depends on how much the fine is, but in general a team probably doesn't want to be paying upwards to $10k per game because of an unpopular political stunt.

I think people are moreso just laughing at the "party against political correctness" getting butthurt enough to where people are being fined for protesting in silence.

I don't give a fuck about the NFL and I give even less fucks now.

While a business such as the NFL is well within their rights to dictate how their employees act while on the clock, my concern is that this sets a worrying precedent for what an employer demands in the name of patriotism. Is it truly being done for the benefit of the nation, or is it just a means for the employer to tighten their grip on the worker?

To be fair, this is a very unique situation, implemented around an idea that started due to drumming up military enlistment, evolved into tradition, became "company code", and then was challenged around recent controversy, and sports are by far the majority business that would even think of setting up this kind of requirement in this day and age.
