    The players don't have to be on the field is the rationale for the fines.

    Everyone in the media and the Trump WH were all to happy to get off BLM and onto the good old anthem fight. Both bases can get outraged without any chance of any actual rational discussion on a more important matter.

    Despite the fact that I am a right wing racist I supported Kapernick for his stand and would like to see us talks facts and figures not national anthems

    All the NFL is doing is letting this shadow another season

    First I must say that the NFL owners are greedy bastards. That being said, if you Race Bannon owned a business where your employees wanted to make defiant stands for political purposes, and it was pissing off a large section of your customer base, I don't think you'd stand idly by and let it happen. You would want to mitigate the financial impact.

    Instead you should proactively change your rules to appease the racists that hate your employees?

    They hate them so much that they are willing to pay their salaries!

    Paying to watch a bunch of black guys kills each other means you’re not racist.

    It's only got this far because nobody wanted to address the issue when it was one player

    Now it's out of control for no good reason
    Kind of like with how Emmert dealt with the Willingham situation

    GRONK, Brady, and Edelman are a little disappointed by this post.

    But while we're on the subject, I just gotta say that I don't like the way the protest is done. It would be much better if the anthem was left alone and the teams just elected to come on the field to Fuck the Police with their fists held high. I would respect that more.

    What will happen is that you will probably see entire teams stay in the locker room.
