Penalties for Kneeling Being Considered

That doesn't sound dangerous. And the NFL's concession sure didn't have the desired "shut up" effect.

I know you're too wry and carefully disaffected to admit what's obvious here, but that doesn't make it less obvious.

 

Try coming out as conservative or proponent of less government while working in the media, then complain about NFL players lack of free expression ON THE JOB.

Or at a university, the incubators of socialism and communism.

 

What are your thoughts on Making a Murderer?

 

You should write a book about it. Call it "My Struggle," something like that.

 

The NFL is specifically not requiring a single player or employee to stand for the national anthem. They are willing to accommodate players who, in good conscience, can't stand for it, to remain in the locker room or tunnel.

And, if a player does come out for the anthem, and kneels, the league does not mandate any penalty for the player, only a fine for the team.

They leave it up to the individual team to decide if further action should be taken, which means that if an owner in San Francisco finds that the audience in his city is more receptive to the message than the audience in Dallas or Houston, the owner in San Francisco can pay a fine to the league, and move on, with no action taken against the player.

Let the fans and players in the various cities make the case to their local owner.

There's nothing at all totalitarian about this.

 

Muddled message!

It's not about free speech. Not a single player's free speech has been infringed.

This is as fucking dumb as the protesters in Charlottesville framing their protest around free speech. Just because someone defines their protest that way doesn't mean it deserves support.

Jerry Jones Offers To Pay Players' Fines For Domestic Violence

 

She’s more of a man than you’ll ever be. She’s more of an American than you’ll ever be.

 

I'm sure she'd take that as the compliment you intend it to be.

 

'Maybe You Shouldn’t Be in the Country'

 

I don't think that proposal is going to be implemented as policy.
