No National Anthem at NFL games

[AnthonyS]

Solution to stupid problem. They can hire a rapper to write a fuck America song and burn flags pre game instead. No one is forcing those fuckwads to disrespect my country or those that died to preserve it.

Is this new thread out of left field, or is there a factual story I missed regarding a new national anthem decision? It's utterly depressing that it's still a debate.

Um, I thought they already solved this with the owners voting last week. If someone doesn't stand the team is fined by the NFL and the team has the ability if it closes to fine the individual.

I said this in the other thread discussing this topic (not sure why we needed a new one?), but the players will find a new way to protest. Hand in the air, back to the flag, etc., they'll figure out a way to dance around the rule.

Could this be the end of the NFL as we know it?

One can only hope.

Speaking of sports ending... Cricket "fields" are popping up all over in my neck of the woods, which is PG county Maryland. There's an elementary school 1/4 mile from my house that has a wonderful soccer field... which has recently removed the rotting soccer goals and stuck an artificial turf cricket mat right in the middle. No more goal posts, and the remaining baseball diamond back stop is rotting away. I'm not a soccer fan, but I would absolutely prefer my kids running around getting sweaty kicking a ball 3 days a week than standing around with a cricket bat in their hands, waiting their turn to either pitch or hit. Perhaps I'm just closed-minded...

Anyway, this is a tangent on a thread that shouldn't exist.

I saw a quote from a Democratic politician saying he was boycotting the NFL over this new rule.

Gotta love when the right boycotts over the protest and the left boycotts over the inability to protest. Just imaging what those poor, pitiful owners are thinking as ticket sales plummet...

Just tell them to keep the rest of the European way of life in Europe... no 1984 here, please!

That's good by me, the NFL can augment it's income by fining it's own bread and butter, LOL.

I would only add one suggestion, consider fining teams as well for NFL refs who commit egregious blunders in their games that by rule cannot be challenged/overturned.

[bubbaearl]

very satisfying for someone who has 0 use for the nfl in the first place.

[orphan Shelby]

Just feel bad for the people that make NFL even possible for these knuckleheads

[4bangen]

I've never really given a crap about pro football. this mess makes me feel like I made the right choice.

[AnthonyS]

It’s just an idea.

I think I’m going to make sunday my go fly rc things day instead. It’ll be more fun and rc hasn’t been politicized..... thank goodness.

[blownragtop]

Build a Fw 190 or a Me 109 with some sweet swastikas and it'll become political. Somebody WILL be offended. Especially if you dress up like Hitler and yell "Sieg Heil!!!" at the top of your lungs.

[AnthonyS]

I have both a 109 and 190. Amazingly enough in our erase history society the 109 is missing the swastikas. It’ll be historically accurate when refinished and fuck the PC idiots that whine about it. I may damn well build a Ta152 someday as well. And JG53 actually painted over their swastikas during the Battle of Britain because they were pissed at Goring and Der Fuhrer.

we need to have a sunday DFWmustangs rc meet up.

I'd love to see pro sports die. All of 'em. Got nothing against smaller teams who just love to play the games. People could go see them instead.

The owners should pay Kaepernick to play for the Browns and in return they stop ruining careers of their first round draft picks.

[AnthonyS]

Spent this Sunday out flying RC airplanes. Watched zero sporting events this week. Sports and politics do not mix. You want to say fuck you to veterans and then tell us to like it and that it’s okay. No assclowns, fuck you instead. I’m done supporting your antics.

[The King]

I did watch most of the Astros @ Rangers game on TV Saturday...a relative rarity for me given that MLB seems fairly boring unless you're actually at the game.
