A mandatory loyalty oath not linked to a position of National service?
What next, a personal oath of fealty to the fucking moron in chief? He'd like that.
I'd proudly stand for a ceremony telling the fake potus to go fuck himself.

The demonstrations have become a distraction from the original target issues, and thanks to the patriotic smokescreen, an issue of no practical importance, invisible. It's probably time to shelve the gesture and highlight the abuse of authority by other means.

Which is all the NFL fans / ticket holders were asking for. Glad that there's at least one covert.

I was referring the the "shelve the gesture" reference in the post above, genius.

All the NFL fans & ticket holders? Speak for yourself.
Let's wait and see how the imposition of a new rule sits with the players.
Besides is there a law governing what one must do while the national anthem is being played?

May be wrong but does it not fall under the term of common respect and etiquette?

Yes, I for one will always stand up when the national anthem is played and for either nations. But that is my choice and not because it is mandated.

What if some NFL players chose to remain in the clubhouse while the anthem is being played? Is that disrespect too?

How about the NYPD turning their backs on their Mayor? Where were the Trumpbaggers then?

I AM speaking for myself. I also have observed the displeasure of other fans during the anthem as the players engaged in their idiotic and disrespectful behavior.

Also, why do we need a law to do the right thing and stand up and show respect for the country that gives the NFL players the right to act like idiots? At least we haven't up until now, because there was a tradition in place that - until the left decided to politicize the national anthem - informed folks what behavior was appropriate during the anthem.
