The Star Spangled Banner is a crappy national anthem to begin with. America the beautiful would be much better if you dont want to partisipate, go for it, ignore the dickwads who have a problem with it, they have a problem with everything anyways. It's played for ceremonial purposes The thing that really irks me is that stupid loyalty pledge. If you gotta pledge alligience, you do it once. What's the point of repeating it over and over? You dont get baptised every week Edited by Attaburnsinhell, Aug 28 2016, 12:24 PM.

Kap has a right to make a point. You don't have to agree with him, that's your right. |

So true, but I do suspect that not many fantasy football teams will chose Kaepernick this year as their starter much less a backup. He screwed himself in that regard. |

I have to admit I am on the fence about that. The NFL has in the past suspended players and even a coach for racial and homophobic remarks. Race and sexual orientation is included in the NFL code of ethics. I would have no problem with the NFL including respect for the American flag for those that fought for it. |

No he doesn't. He knew that he is expected to stand up when the national anthem is played. It is in his contract. |

He wasn't going to be picked by too many anyhow. He's pretty much lost his starting job from what I hear. |

It's in his contract? Is it? Are you sure about that? |

Very sure. http://openscholarship.wustl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1521&context=law_lawreview Old article, but I am sure the language did not change. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/PAGE-ONE-Standoff-Over-the-National-Anthem-2990682.php Edited by Drudge X, Aug 28 2016, 03:31 PM.

I don't see a distinction between the NBA, NFL, MLB, or NHL contract when it comes to national anthem. |

According to this article a player is not required to stand during the NA. Perhaps maybe changes will be made. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/27/nfl-players-are-encouraged-but-not-required-to-stand-for-national-anthem/ Edited by jazzyjeff, Aug 28 2016, 03:38 PM.

Probably not, if things have changed but look at it this way, if he refused to stand, his employer will release him. Let's say it is an unwritten rule in the contract. No team would want to deal with negative publicity. |

If he is let go it won't be because of what he did, and if released he will be picked up in a heartbeat by another team. |

Rauf is a poor example. He ran out of talent, like Ray Rice. |

A large percent of the NHL is made up of Russians and Canadians what is forcing them to participate in our National Anthem and why should they? |

I would like to see him here in Philly. With Bradford being injury prone, goes down early and have to rely on Chase Daniel were in big trouble. I still am surprised we did not pick up Foles when he was let go by the Rams. |
